Thumbnail generation fails on large files

Q: On all my albums, digikam fails to generate thumbnails on some images. The only pattern I can spot is that it fails on largish files (bigger than 1MB). When the thumnails are generated, the ones that fail appear at first and then are replaced by the broken picture icon.

A: try changing the following setting:

kcontrol->kde components->file manager->Previes & Metadata (tab)->Maximum file size
