SUMMARY:

Dolphin - Intermittant Displaying Previews of 'Folder' Thumbnails on NTFS
Drives/Partitions


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Using Dolphin, have Previews on, and goto an NTFS Drive/Partition with
videos on it (root or folder)


OBSERVED RESULT:

Observe any/all 'Folders' to see the thumbnails being generated on them
Note that many folders will never show any thumbnails despite the folder having
videos in it

Please note, Im not talking about the actual video file thumbnails themselves,
they display fine 100% guaranteed all the time perfectly
Im referring to the actual 'Folder' icon itself, that normally would display 4
separate thumbnails on the folder icon itself if the folder has at least 4
video files in it

I have folders with mixed video file types


EXPECTED RESULT:

All folders that have at least 1 video in them should display at least 1 video
thumbnail on the folder
