Dolphin: Unable to get Blender preview plugin working

Hello,

I was installing the kde-thumbnailer-blender 0.3-2 from AUR via yaourt, as I noticed that under General->Preview, there was no entry to allow Blender-files to be previewed.
The installation occured without any errors, but there is no indication that Dolphin was affected.
A while ago I did the same procedure, and it worked, now I don't know if there was a major update on Dolphin, and the plugin is simply outdated or else.

But I was able to install the same plugin in Linux Mint KDE, there it worked!

I'm using a 64bit Arch with Cinnamon installed, Plasma and KDE-packages as well.

If I am missing something crucial, let me know it!

Thanks in advance!

Most likely reason is that Dolpin has been ported to KF5 most of the "extra" stuff like previews isn't ported and not working with the new version of Dolphin.

Re: Dolphin: Unable to get Blender preview plugin working

Dolphin version on my Linux Mint KDE : 4.14.2 with KDE 4
Dolphin version on my Arch Cinnamon : 15.08.0 with KDE 5

Yes, you are right...now I have to wait till the plugin gets an update?

Yes and the odds look not good http://kde-look.org/usermanager/search. … name=danni the author hasn't been on kde-look since last year...

http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apid … l#_details
http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frame … fdd2bb7b6f

doesn't look like much changed regarding the API if you want to try doing something yourself^^

Creating my own thumbnailer is currently way out of my league, I'm afraid^^, but thanks for the valuable infos!
