Hello everyone,
when I plug in an USB storage device containing images like an SD card reader, Konqueror doesn't show thumbnails (previews) of image files on that device if I open it via the automatic popup window that is displayed after plugging in the device. There seem to be 3 distinct ways to reach the USB storage ("/dev/sdb1/" in this example) in Konqueror:
1. "system:/media/sdb1" - reached when plugging in an USB device and choosing "Open in New Window" from the popup - (popup configured via "Peripherals" > "Storage Media" in the control center) - image thumbnails do not work!
2. "media:/sdb1" - using the menu "Go" > "Storage Media" in Konqueror - image thumbnails work
3. "/media/<user>/<label>/" - actual path for the internal mountpoint, needs to be manually navigated to - image thumbnails work
Number 1 is the problematic one and is the path Konqueror opens from the automatic storage media popup. I always have to resort to manually navigating to one of the other 2 paths in order to get image thumbnails to work, rendering the convenience of the automatic popup useless in cases where images are involved.
Is there any way to fix this?
Best regards,
Leskala

Hi Leskala, what is your view mode in Konqueror? and your settings for showing thumbnails? I would like to see if I can reproduce this here. Cheers Michele

Hi Michele,
my view mode is set to "Icon View", icon size is set to "Very Large". "View" > "Sort" options are: "By Date" + "Descending" + "Folders First". "View" > "Preview" is enabled for: "Clipart", "Images", "KOffice Files". Konqueror settings for "Previews & Metadata" has maximum file size set to 25,0 MB and the enabled "Local Protocols" are "file" and "media".
Best regards, Leskala

Hi Leskala, you need to add "system" to the "Local protocols" and then it will work fine. Cheers Michele

Thank you Michele! I actually didn't expect the solution to be this simple. That works like a charm!
I think this should be added to the TDE wiki. I'll try creating an account and add it there when I get around to.
