--- Comment #16 from Stéphane Tréboux <stephane.treb...@gmail.com> --- kio-extras 23.08.3 including Git commit 8a0c0d97 is now available as a Ubuntu package targeting the upcoming Ubuntu 24.04 (noble). If you use Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) on AMD64 you can download and install at your own risk, please only use if you know what you are doing! https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/kio-extras/download https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/all/kio-extras-data/download https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0/download Here are the direct download links I used due to https://packages.ubuntu.com/ being often down lately: https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kio-extras/kio-extras_23.08.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kio-extras/kio-extras-data_23.08.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libk/libkf5kexiv2/libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0_23.08.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb Once you have downloaded the three packages (kio-extras, kio-extras-data and libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0) in the new version you can use "dpkg -i *.deb" to install them in one batch from a command line. After installation go to ~/.cache and rename the folder "thumbnails" to "thumbnails_bak". If you are happy with the result you can erase the folder later on. No restart is needed and applications like the file manager Dolphin will immediately generate new thumbnails. The new thumbnail will not be the embedded exif thumbnail when it is too small to be used. The criteria applied is that the exif thumbnail will be used if at least one of the edges is long enough. In other words, both the width and height of the exif thumbnail need to be strictly smaller than the target size for the desired thumbnail for the exif thumbnail to be skipped. The target size of the thumbnail is configurable in many apps, in Dolphin there is a slider at the bottom right. If you pick a large enough value there is a good chance that the exif thumbnail will never be used. This will not necessarily resolve issues like the wrong orientation of the thumbnail (https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=160117), especially if the exif thumbnail comes with a sufficient resolution (https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=156871). If you have to go back to stock Ubuntu 23.10 for any reason, the packages which originally come with Ubuntu 23.10 can be downloaded and installed the same way as the packages from Ubuntu 24.04. https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/amd64/kio-extras/download https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/all/kio-extras-data/download https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/amd64/libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0/download Here are the direct download links I used due to https://packages.ubuntu.com/ being often down lately: https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kio-extras/kio-extras_23.08.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kio-extras/kio-extras-data_23.08.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb https://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libk/libkf5kexiv2/libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0_23.08.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb Again, once you have downloaded the three packages (kio-extras, kio-extras-data and libkf5kexiv2-15.0.0) in the original version you can use "dpkg -i *.deb" to install them in one batch from a command line.
