[opensuse] how to make the desktop preview image larger?
Hi, here on leap 42.1 with that plasma 5, using classic desktop (folder view). When hovering an icon a tooltip is shown. If it was an image, a pdf, a textfile... in earlier KDE's that image was shown as a larger prewiev just as in dolphin, which was very useful. Now that preview is very small, even smaller than the icon itself. I am (almost) sure there must be a setting somewhere, but I cannot find it. Can you? And would you tell me where? Thanks!

Really nobody knows? Or is this really just another little step in KDE's ongoing retrogression, taking away more and more of those little nice things that are not necessary to survive but really nice to have..., so that in a year or two even windows 95 will look like a fantastically adjustable, useful desktop system compared to plasma or whatever KDE will be named in it's next downgrade releases? ??? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

don't remember this (but I don't use folderview)
just as in dolphin, which was very useful. Now that preview is very small, even smaller than the icon itself.

right clic, folderview parameters, icons?

well... before answering your question, I had this in dolphin, but after some tests I don't have it anymore and don't know why :-( I only have preview in info pane jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sadly not. It just changes the size of the icons themselves. And I see no preview related settings. Furthermore - grrrr - changing the size of the icons moves all the icons to the left of the screen, and I have to reorder them again now.... :-(
