Dolphin shows thumbnals for GIMP 2.10 compatible files but not GIMP 3

Hi, I’ve installed all the packages listed in Arch wiki / Dolphin / File previews except the AUR ones, but those shouldn’t matter. What am I missing?

Dolphin shows previews depending on the case:

  • If I save an .xcf that contains only one layer
    • Dolphin shows the thumbnail (see attached image)
    • When saving the file, GIMP says that the image will use features compatible with GIMP 2.10 and won’t be readable by older versions. I don’t know if that’s the issue here, but that’s the only difference I’ve found in the files, no live effects were involved
  • .xfc with several layers
    • Dolphin won’t show a a thumbnail
    • It’ll use features from GIMP 3.0 and won’t be readable by older versions

The thumbnail problem was there before I updated GIMP to 3.2, when I was on GIMP 2 point… whatever version I had before, I can’t remember.

Here’s a screenshot (please don’t judge my pixel art, the thumbnail looks blurry because obvious reasons)

That’s a different format entirely, or least from the mime-type extension point of view.

The imageformats file reader do not support those (yet) probably:

I see, that’s a bummer, but now I know to check the bugtracker before asking. Thanks for finding and posting the link!
