            Bug ID: 454340
           Summary: Thumbnails in MEGAsync directories get disabled by
                    "Skip preview for remote files"
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.04.1
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: view-engine: icons mode

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
Thumbnails in MEGAsync directories are now seemingly governed by Dolphin
settings > General > Previews > Skip previews for remote files above: x MB.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have MEGAsync official Linux client installed, and configure a directory to
sync.
2. Have some images in the directory.
3. Configure Dolphin settings > General > Previews > Skip previews for remote
files above: x MB. Changes appear to reflect on-the-fly.

OBSERVED RESULT
Thumbnails in MEGAsync directories will turn off when the option is set to No
previews, or will selectively turn on/off depending on max size configured in
the option.

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnails in MEGAsync directories governed by "Skip previews for local files"
option instead.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.24
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This does not appear to be an original behavior, as I remember it used to not
do that a few months prior.
However I cannot pinpoint exact versions.

I personally don't think it makes much sense for the option to also apply to
MEGAsync directories, because MEGAsync app itself does not do remote mounting
(which you could've done with Rclone), but instead keep local physical copies
of all the files in the directories configured in the app.
