After emerging dolphin on a minimal gentoo setup (handbook thumbnail -aqua -debug -semantic-desktop) I get no thumbnails. Tracking this issue down I realised I did not have kdebase-kioslaves, I would expect the 'thumbnail' useflag to pull this in no? Cheers Turtle Here is a 1 line patch for the ebuild: --- dolphin-4.11.5.ebuild.old 2014-05-05 11:37:05.895550921 -0700 +++ dolphin-4.11.5.ebuild 2014-05-05 11:25:33.678376417 -0700 @@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ " PDEPEND=" thumbnail?

Hmm, if anything, I would see kioslaves to be added as runtime dependency of any thumbnailer plugin instead.
@KDE I propose the following cleanup: 1. add kdebase-kioslaves as RDEPEND of all thumbnailers: - kde-base/ffmpegthumbs - kde-base/mplayerthumbs - kde-base/thumbnailers - media-video/kffmpegthumbnailer - ?? 2. remove any PDEPEND to dolphin/konqueror from all thumbnailers (mplayerthumbs for the record) 3. favour +ffmpeg over 'mplayer' in kdemultimedia-meta (current setup in that meta "conflicts" with default preference in dolphin ebuild)
Also I have no idea why there's kffmpegthumbnailer at all since ffmpegthumbs works pretty well..
