(sorry for replying to myself all the time today...)

I've just tested Dolphin in KDE 4.1 with thousand images where no previews 
have been cached before. Although Dolphin for KDE 4.1 creates the previews 
for the visible area first when opening a directory, it still does not 
recognize when the user scrolls down to the bottom. (Bad) result: the 
previews for 9xx images are created first before the previews of the new 
visible area get created...

I'll try to fix this for KDE 4.1, thanks for the report!

Cheers,
Peter
