This was talked about before, but the settings location that was mentioned to enable thumbnails on remote files and stuff has changed. I have a mount of my android system over mtp, and I cannot see any of the thumbnails, making it impossible for me to sort my stuff, some into hard drives and etc.

How do i enable seeing mtp thumbnails in kde, is there issues with just mtp thumbnails in dolphin or what alternative file manager or image veiwer I can use so i can see the thumbnails and relocate the images.

MTP is awful, it wouldn't shoe thumbnails even on Windows for me, the issue might not be on the KDE side at all.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
