I wonder if there's some QML plugin or something that can get video thumbnail previews in a more native way, thought it may not be possible with QML only. |

@bbedward That's a good point. With limited knowledge on the Qt apps landscape, I dug around at how Dolphin from KDE handles thumbnails, and they use a C-backed KIO framework to handle the thumbnail generation. In the future we can consider building/integrating a similar toolset in the go backend to handle thumbnails for more filetypes. |
