Created attachment 455548 [details] emerge --info Krusader 2.5.0 does not show file previews for any file when "Show Previews" is enabled. Selecting "Manage Bookmarks" from "BookMan II" in the panel toolbar has no effect. I can add and remove bookmarks with other menu entries, but there is no bookmark manager. Since krusader is the only application from KDE I use, the problem is probably missing dependencies.
For file previews, you'll need at least kde-apps/kio-extras. For bookmarks management, you'll need kde-apps/keditbookmarks. Chances are that slot 4 won't work for krusader:5, but it will finally see a KF5-based release in about a week from now.
I got the basic previews for image files with kde-apps/kio-extras Previews for PDFs appeared with kde-apps/thumbnailers and video previews with kde-apps/ffmpegthumbs Maybe at least kde-apps/kio-extras could be added as dependency with a use flag like "thumbnails". I'll try kde-apps/keditbookmarks when slot 5 is available. Thanks!
After emerging kde-apps/keditbookmarks:5 the bookmark manager is also available in Krusader 2.5.0 now. So this is solved for me by emerging the missing packages directly.
There was bug #398087 for the bookmarks dependency in the previous :4 version. I wonder why the bookmarks USE flag was dropped in version 2.5.
Because keditbookmarks:5 didn't exist until very recently, as mentioned in comment #1. Anyway, since it is an optional runtime dependency, a USE flag isn't really the way to go.
The mentioned dependencies are surely optional in the way that nothing bad happens if they are not available. On the other hand the corresponding menu entries are always visible and enabled so one would expect something to happen. But there is no hint anywhere that something is missing if the dependencies are not available. So if USE flags are not the way to go - I don't know the Gentoo policies here - I would at least expect a message logged by the ebuild along the lines of "To enable file preview thumbnails kde-apps/kio-extras has to be emerged. Additional previews are available with kde-apps/thumbnailers for PDF files and kde-apps/ffmpegthumbs for video files." And something similar for the bookmarks manager. Just my two cents.
A recent change in kio-extras trimmed down the additionally pulled in dependencies when compared to krusader to a minimum, so that I can comfortably add it as a non-optional RDEPEND. For the other optional runtime deps, there will be elog messages in postinst. Fixed in kde overlay and coming to tree with the next krusader version bump.
I didn't want to wait any longer and pushed 2.5.0-r2 to fix this bug. Thanks for reporting.
