SUMMARY

Hi - I love Okular, been using it for a while.

In Linux Mint, the thumbnails do not use the generic PDF/Okular icon. It shows
me a really helpful preview of the document. ie. The icon will be a preview of
the first page of the document. In Windows 10, however, I only get generic
Okular icons, not the first page of the PDF as the icon. Say I have a bunch of
ebooks: In Linux, I can tell what's what at a glance by seeing all the covers,
and it is awesome. In Windows 10, I'm looking at a sea of Okular icons and need
to read filenames etc.

How do I make the icon preview behave the same in Windows 10 as it does in
Linux?

I've been searching for the answer for a long time. Any help would be much
appreciated.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Okular on Windows 10 and see that the PDF icons are not previews,
but generic Okular icons. This behavior is different to Linux, which shows the
first page of the PDF document as the thumbnail/icon.
