Re: [SOLVED] No wallpaper preview on desktop settings in KDE

Plasma 5 ?
Is the preview working with the plasma folderview or with the file manager (Dolphin) ?
Do you have the kio-extras installed ?

At here, with the jpg images - If I disable (rename) the jpeg thumbnailer plugin: /usr/lib/qt/plugins/jpegthumbnail.so then the KDE can't show the preview thumbnails for the jpeg.

Broken - Imgur: http://i.imgur.com/qYNj6aW.png
Normal- Imgur: http://i.imgur.com/rG01Y4p.png

The jpeg thumbnailer plugin is from package:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/qt/plugins/jpegthumbnail.so
/usr/lib/qt/plugins/jpegthumbnail.so is owned by kio-extras 15.12.0-1

Have you looked the .xsession-errors and the journalctl ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd ) for the error messges ?
