Pdf thumbnails in dolphin are visible only in Home directory; in other local disks I got no pdf thumbnail preview

Bump -- having the same issue.
Interestingly, thumbnails do seem to load from cache. But new pdf's or modifications to existing pdf's (changing name, moving location) removes the thumbnail and no new thumbnail is available. -
How are you "other local disks" mounted? If you're just clicking on them with Dolphin, they're mounted at /media/<username> and considered a "removable device."
Dolphin likely behaves differently with removable devices just like it does with networked file systems - to save time by not creating thumbnails.
Try mounting them using /etc/fstab like all other "fixed" (internal) drives should be and see if the behavior changes.Comment

In my case, I was using Veracrypt so they were being mounted under /media like removable devices, so switching to /home isn't much of an issue. But I guess as a larger question to your point -- if removable devices were previously showing thumbnails but not longer are, is this a feature or a bug? Just wondering if it was an intentional choice or a unintended effect.Originally posted by oshunluvr View Post
Personally, if the option were available, I'd opt into thumbnails for network file systems as well.Comment

Perhaps it is a bug that has returned, or may be specific to veracrypt's encryption?
I don't use Veracrypt, but thumbs inside Plasma Vaults work for me so far.
.....except for PDFs. Note the image is fine here.
.....until I enable/raise the network size limit and refresh:
Setting this too high might impact performance, depending on the system.
