This looks like a good project, but afaik makes no sense at all.
I am not sure if this uses QtWebengine but think it doesnt and uses Chromium/Electron instead.
This means it is not fast and really no big improvement.
Meanwhile Plasma Dolphin absolutely has a system to preview videos, images, pdfs, text- even office files (Libreoffice format). This means previews should totally work, with very little delay.
KiView is not that.
It's not electron, it's a WebEngineView, see the VideoViewerUi_alt.qml file for example.
But you're right about dolphin. It does support preview and they're enough for me. However, I saw people for whom this was not enough, and IIRC that's the reason behind the creation of this project.
Okay this makes it way better.
But still I guess it would be better if the native Dolphin thing could be extended, instead of some different javascript stuff that simply runs on the Chromium-based webengine that the DE also uses.
Yes, I agree on that. I supposed it's more difficult to do than it seems
I'm trying it right now, thanks.
