Thumbnails are not generated by default in Dolphin

[C0rn3j]

I can use the CLI tool fine.

I attempted rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails and a reboot to no avail.

stl-thumb-kde is installed from AUR.

Dolphin does not work, but nemo seems to generate thumbnails fine.

Mime type for the files is application/octet-stream

Did you turn on STL thumbnails in Dolphin after the installation? In Dolphin go to Settings -> Configure Dolphin, select the Previews tab and check the box for "STL Files" - click apply and it should spring right into action.

I have not, and enabling it makes it work, thanks!

This extra step is not very user friendly, is it possible to have the previews generated by default instead?

I'm afraid I can't comment on that, I'm just a user like yourself :-)

It seems like it gets enabled by default in KDE 6. Can anyone else confirm?

I had to manually enable it in KDE6. Pointing this out in the README would be helpful.
