I would normally install the previewer from the add widget menu. Then use it. If I simply drag and icon from dolphin or elsewhere, there may be mutliple options available, i.e. if the icon is a folder: icon or folder view plasmoid of THAT FOLDER. Fine. If the icon is of a file, then I just want the icon which I can click to view. If I want to use the previewer, I drag the icon to the plasmoid. The choice in place the previewer plasmoid is not for this file in particular. That is why I feel it is in the way here. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
