Thanks for the bug report, but this is most likely not a Dolphin issue
(unless you get these previews in the file dialog of, e.g., KWrite, and
in Folder View). Dolphin itself cannot create thumbnails for anything at
all, it relies on external preview plugins for this. It seems that the
necessary plugins are not installed on your system. It could be that the
plugins were not ported to Qt5/KF5 yet, but I do not now where to find
the source for the PDF plugin at the moment, so I cannot check that, but
maybe someone else has an idea.

It looks like you're on Arch too. I installed the ffmpegthumbs-git package from the AUR, and then a new option became available in the list under Dolphin's preview preferences (which you referred to): "Video files (ffmpegthumbs)".
I still don't have PDF thumbnails again either, but getting video thumbnails back (in addition to the picture thumbnails I still have) is a start. This happened after I updated to the most recent KDE available in the testing repos.

Didn't work for me. At least this command sequence din't work:

# pacman -R kdegraphics-thumbnailers
$ git clone http://anongit.kde.org/kdegraphics-thumbnailers
$ cd kdegraphics-thumbnailers
$ cmake .
$ make
# cmake -P cmake_install.cmake

Messages say all is correct built and correct installed but still I get
no pdf in the list of previews. What's wrong?

It appears to me that the fix is sitting in the origin/frameworks branch
and hasn't been merged into the master yet.

It might not have a bugzilla component at all. Maybe kio/thumbnail is
the closest match.

I have version 15.12 and I still don't have any thumbnails. I rechecked that I have previews enabled in Dolphin's configuration. Is there anything else I need to do?

Another workaround for video preview is to compile ffmpegthumbs from
source:


sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake extra-cmake-modules kio-dev pkg-config libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/ffmpegthumbs

After executing the above commands, a "Video Files (ffmpegthumbs)" option should be available in the Control/Configure Dolphin/General/Previews tab.

Having the libs in the right place makes them work. The link goes to a post that lists 2 bugs files against the packaging for Ubuntu that will eventually solve the second problem.
