SUMMARY
In Dolphin, every links to files that have a preview have smaller preview that
what they should have : smaller than original files preview. It makes harder to
see those content with the same zoom level than non-linked files.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin with previews turned on.
2. Open a folder that have a file that has a preview, like a picture.
3. Create a link to this file in the same folder (the name of the link need to
be different).
4. Compare the size of the preview of the file and of the link to the file.

OBSERVED RESULT
Links to a file has his preview really smaller than what it is pointed at, and
smaller than the space the preview has to be shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
The preview should take as much space than the preview on the original file. It
makes harder to see what the content his, for no gain (- We already know that
something is a link because of the link icon).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Dolphin Version 25.08.1
Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-29-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Files that only show a generic icon are not affected by being a link or not. It
only affect files with preview of their content.
This affect previews in Dolphin for all three view modes (icons mode, compact
mode, details mode) but it doesn't affect (outside Dolphin) previews on the
desktop background.

I thought I had already reported this bug, but I didn't found the report. What
I submitted was some others bugs (bug 500624, bug 498211).
