Description Peter Küppers 2023-07-15 08:59:23 UTC 
On using Konqueror's file preview from the right-klick mouse menu, it doesn't show "preview" entries for e.g. mime-types *.txt, *.pdf, *.gz.
As far as I've seen, there is no menu entry available at all on file(!) mime-types. In principle preview function works, but only on path(!) entries.
For above mime-types the relevant part-plugins are installed (kate-part, okular-part, ark-part).
I tried to change the mime-types by setting "Show file in embedded viewer"(which is normally not necessary to see the preview entries), but it doesn't help. But I realized that the changes are written to $HOME/.config/mimeapps.list, but not shown afterwards in KDE-settings for mime-types.

I found two bugs on mime-types, but e.g. adding the /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list (which is missing) don't help for getting back the preview entries for files.

File associations are broken in gtk/glib apps due to lack of /usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list file installed by default (from 2012 but still updated in 2023) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305136

KDE is not saving a mime-type file association

Even some people say Konqueror is dead (or should be), some people still like to use it. But lacking preview entries for files will be quite frustrating...
