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.
I don't have such an entry. There is another for DjVu. Missing package? Plugin?
I have Dolphin 4.14.10
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.
Are you two talking of preview inside what would be the icon for the file? That would not suffice for me, the text would be unreadable. I need a much larger view, in another panel.
The feature works on plain txt files, or png files. Not on postscript or PDF.
I'm talking about the preview pane in Dolphin. You can Drag that pane wider for readable previews. This same issue was mentioned a month ago or more rewarding PDF previews and I posted the necessary steps to get them working. Some LDR plugins are required, and their name mentioned previews or thumbnail or some such. However it has always just been part of the normal kde install for many releases now without me having to chase extra's. Not at my machine right now, or I could give you the specifics. Maybe Google dolphin PDF previews plugins. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
