I wonder if there is a file viewer/browser that displays in the left pane the list of files in a directory, and in the right a quick view of the highlighted PDF file.
I tried Dolphin. Quick view does nothing. Preview is active on right pane, does nothing.
If Dolphin does nothing then it probably needs configuring. Go to Configure Dolphin... -> General -> Previews and check Postscript, PDF and DVI files. Also, under the Behaviour tab above, you might want to check Show Tooltips, as the large tooltip overlays may provide a bigger
preview than what you get in your preview pane, depending on its size.
I had thought that this PDF thumbnail functionality relied upon a thumbnail plugin like that for ODF files, but I can't see one installed so I assume it comes by default in a regular KDE installation.

Yes, was going to suggest the same thing.
I use Dolphin to get useable previews of PDF files all the time. There are settings that control which files generate previews.
Previews != thumbnails (or are they?). I think I have an open bugreport on the lack of thumbnails for PDFs and Libreoffice. As gumb suggests, there is some plugin missing. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=855348 https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-10/msg01148.html -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
