Dolphin not generating PREVIEWS

Sun May 30, 2010 6:04 pm
Dolphin is not generating previews for any kind of files.

Code: Select all
[shadyabhi@ArchLinux ~]$ plasma-desktop --version
Qt: 4.6.2
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3)
Plasma Workspace: 0.3
[shadyabhi@ArchLinux ~]$


Image

But, when I hover the mouse on images and videos, its preview is shown instantly in the right side information bar.

Pls inform, if you need any more info.

Check Dolphin settings:

Configure Dolphin > General section (at the bottom of the list) > Previews tab. Make sure that you have enabled all the types you want to see

That was so silly. I got the solution. I didnt have the Preview button enabled at the top..

i mean, I had it enabled in the Settings->Configure Dolphin, but not at the top as shown in the screenshot.
