I use rclone to manage my files on cloud and I mount rclone remotes at some certain locations ( for example /mnt/gdrive ). Currently when I use dolphin to open the mounted folder, dolphin will try to generate preview for every files, which will draw a lot resource for rclone to download the files. I found that there's an option in Dolphin to skip preview large "remote files", but I don't know how dolphin determine whether a file or a folder is "remote". Is there anyway to mark the mounted location as "remote"?

I don't know a switch or config entry ... I can only speculate what dolphin could do ...

It's easy to recognize a "remote" folder, it the contents are read via KIO (webdav://, sftp://, fish://, ...).

But can dolphin do this, if you mount a file system via SMB or NFS ? Is it smart enough to check if the showing folder is in a path listed in mount tab entries with type cifs, autofs, nfs, ... ?

And then, there are the .directory files. It may exist a key/value that signals dolphin, the folder is remote ...

It's time to dive into the dolphin’s source code ...

That would be interesting, thanks for suggestions! And also hope that any develeopers can give some hints
