All,
Where should I be looking to restore the thumbnail previews in Konq for .jpg and other image files?
Previously, I was able to view folders of images and see each file represented by a small version of the full image. This required some system resources, but allowed me to quickly browse large numbers of images and to select among similar and similarly named files, without opening each one, to see what was in it.
Then my system (SuSE 9, KDE 3.2.0) froze and my wife had to reboot (could not get to a console for orderly shutdown).
Upon restart, there was some corruption and a prompt telling me to log in as root and run "mount -n -o remount,rw /" ...... which I did.
KDE came back, and most things seem to work, but now Konqueror shows image files all with the same (uninformative) camera icon.
I've toggled every switch I could find in "Settings", but I can't get Konq to show image files as large-icon thumbnails anymore.
What should I try next? Is there additional info that I could provide that might indicate what is broken?
Hate to suggest the obvious (and it sounds like you have tried these ideas) but for the sake of completeness I assume that the view-viewmode->icon view menu is selected in konqueror Have you checked under the view menu (in konqueror) view->Prieview->show previews to make sure that "Images" is selected? The last thing I can suggest is to open then settings window from konqueror settings->configure konqueror In the previews->metadata tab there is a maximum filesize setting, I set this at about 6mb and still occasionally run across a large file that doesn't get a preview made. If the setting is to low then all you will see are icons rather than previews.
