After the upgrade to f43 some file types in the file manager don’t get thumbnails anymore. .jpg/.jpeg and .png don’t show thumbnails, but .pdf files do. See screen shot. What can I do to get thumbnails back for all file types? Thanks! [Bildschirmfoto vom 2025-11-03 18-40-53]

alright, i fixed it. had to properly mount the nas in fedora via terminal, now it shows proper access rights and it generates thumbnails! thank you for your help! maybe it will help someone with the same problems :slight_smile: i used some help from this site: Connecting to a Network Drive (SMB/C…
