--- Comment #20 from Méven Car <meve...@gmail.com> --- To those concerned, this change was intentional. NFS, SMB, SSHFS are not local file-systems, as such previewing files on those can be slow, network-intensive and lowers the overall performance when browsing such filesystem. We have been plagued by bugs about those network filesystems and their limitations especially when mounted using mount/fstab. This makes it harder to categorize as remote which they are. We recently made some progress on that front, and that's the cause of this behavior change and the bug in the NTFS/fuse case. Unfortunately, this impacted NTFS fuse-mounted fs. We wrongfully categorize them as remote FS (because historically fuse usecases were remote filesystems). We can improve upon this situation but this is not very clear how yet. Details in comment https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451408#c10 I have made a lot more researches and the situation is that our libraries come short to help. I have opened a bug upstream that if fixed would help solve the NTFS issue https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g/issues/36 There is a very simple workaround to all of those issues in Dolphin > General > Preview, crank up the file limit size for which to compute previews for remote files, as much as you feel is needed. Still folders preview won't be affected as they require a lot more work to obtain a preview, they are currently disabled for remote filesystems. That might be something we can improve upon, offering an option for instance. We might revert the change to please users, but I'd rather fix the issues, now that they are exposed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
