Thumbnails and preview of .psd files in digiKam on Windows

[muepet]

Hi,

 

I’ve started to use digiKam on Windows 10. Now, I’m trying to add .psd files. I’m aware of the mime-types thing, where I added psd to the list. However, thumbnails are not generated (I only see the default green thumbnail image :-)

 

Interesting though, when choosing slideshow the picture is displayed (for 5 sec and then the slideshow is over :-D)

 

I’ve seen threads on that for KDE and here a solution seem to exist. Unfortunately, I’m not using Linux … (now, please don’t suggest I should switch …)

 

Any ideas on how I can make .psd files viewable under Windows?

 

Thanks

The image handler (loader in fact) for extra type mime is supported by qt plugin image loaders. These extensions come from a KF5 library

For an obscur reason, the plugin are not found at startup in all bundles, not only Windows. It's in my TODO list to investigate when time permit...
