Hi, I have a question about thumbnails of heic images. In Leap 15.4 in order to have heic support in plasma you need to install libheif from packman and following what is written here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444976 and here: https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-extras/-/commit/667f8dd3ee884192602a92429... it is necessary to put in /usr/share/kservices5/imagethumbnail.desktop MimeType=image/*;video/x-mng; With that in place dolphin is able to show thumbnail preview of heic images. Now I'm testing Leap 15.5. thumbnail preview of heic images still does not work and the file /usr/share/kservices5/imagethumbnail.desktop does not exist anymore. Any suggestion about how to make dolphin show thumbnails of heic images in Leap 15.5 (and tumbleweed as well)? Regards, Giacomo

I suppose you have to do the same as you did in 15.4. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Funny, today the thing works on Leap 15.5. Not sure what happened. By the way, for whoever is intrested, it still doesn't work on tumbleweed. As suggested I created the file /usr/share/kservices5/imagethumbnail.desktop using a copy from Leap 15.4, but that didn't help. Since heic thumbnails seems to work on Leap 15.5, I'll consider the issue closed. Cheers, Giacomo
