I've been testing digiKam on Windows 8.1 for the past few days. I've been really liking it. There's only one thing I'm missing: video thumbnails. It shows photo thumbnails just fine, but for video files it doesn't, making it difficult to identify which video is which.I've been searching for a solution, but most of the info I find is for various Linux distros and the solutions provided are not really reproducible under Windows.Meanwhile, your FAQ had some info that said that the thumbs should be working in Dolphin or Konkeror to be available in digiKam. When I checked, I found out that neither of them had previews for videos NOR images, even though the Preview button was enabled. When I went to the settings of Dolphin and Konkeror, there were options to enable previews for Images and Jpeg, but no option for Video files. The options for Images and Jpeg were both checked, even though there were no previews in Dolphin nor Konkeror. I then tried to install the KDE Windows installer to try and install packages that might be missing (I installed digiKam through its Windows installer). I installed anything I thought might help getting thumbails, including mplayerthumbs and kdegraphics-thumbnailers-vc100. Finally, I had image previews in both Dolphin and Konkeror, and I also had the option to enable them for video files in Settings. However, even after checking that option, there are no previews for video files, and kio_thumbnail crashes repeatedly until I close either program. digiKam still shows no thumbnails for videos.Also, I don't know if this is important, but neither digiKam, Dolphin nor Konkeror can play video files in the embedded player (eg. in the information pane).Any way to get video thumbnails in digiKam?
