Good day,

I've ported KIO::PreviewJob to comply with the Thumbnail Managing Standard 
(http://triq.net/~pearl/thumb-spec.php).
It doesn't change any i18n strings nor the outer appearance of previews except 
that the sizes are adjusted to be nicely scalable from 128x128, which is but 
a few pixels difference.
As it adds to the interoperability with "foreign" applications, I'd really 
like to commit this for 3.0, but not without an okay.
Either case, it requires a small Qt patch that reads PNG text chunks also for 
non-progressive loading (sent to qt-bugs@, answer pending).

Second, this is a new feature, so I guess it has to wait for 3.1, but I'll 
dare asking anyway ;-)
My harddisk contains a small kimageio plugin to read XCF files, at least RGB 
and RGBA ones (via libxcf, 
http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~pearl/gnome/libxcf.html). Transparent 
backgrounds don't work, still it provides basic XCF-thumbnail capability ;-)
