            Bug ID: 460216
           Summary: After hovering different image, Image preview panel
                    (F11) continues to show the old preview until the new
                    one is generated
    Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
           Product: frameworks-kio
           Version: 5.98.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Open/save dialogs
          Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

After hovering different image, Image preview panel (F11) continues to show the
old preview until the new one is generated.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Kate
2. select File -> Open (Ctrl+O)
3. show Image Preview panel (F11)
4. navigate to a directory containing many images
5. hover one image, wait until you see it's preview
6. hover another image

OBSERVED RESULT
Old preview from the previously hovered image is still being displayed until
the preview for the newly hovered file is generated.
It is misleading for the user who doesn't know if the preview is that of a
newly hovered file, or previously hovered file (because the new one is still
being generated).

EXPECTED RESULT
When mouse leaves an item in the Open dialog's files view, the preview should
be cleared, ideally replaced with KDE's busy indicator (rotating gear).

Image preview should also be cleared when mouse leaves the files view widget.
In the above situation, if there is a file *selected* and not just hovered,
then the preview could display that selected image after the mouse leaves the
file list area.
