View Full Version : [SOLVED] Dolphin not showing 'Previews' of Movie Files

Hi,

Just wondering why Kubuntu 10.10 has a file manager that by default doesn't show the previews of video files?

Or did I do something wrong during the install? Does extra software need to be installed to view video files as thumbnails in Dolphin?

Or, am I doing something wrong and everyone else who uses Dolphin after installing Kubuntu gets thumbnail previews of their video files? See the attached picture showing a preview of a graphics file.

Maybe I'm expecting too much because Nautilus (in Ubuntu), Thunar (in Xubuntu) and Windows Explorer (Win XP/Vista/7) all show thumbnail previews of video files by default.
