Problem

Eventhough psd preview is enabled with Program like Sagethumbs. Previews keep disappearing after file sync with NextCloud server.

Solution

The solution is to enable photoshop preview generation on the server.
config.php

{
    'enabledPreviewProviders' => [
        'OC\Preview\BMP',
        'OC\Preview\GIF',
        'OC\Preview\JPEG',
        'OC\Preview\Krita',
        'OC\Preview\MarkDown',
        'OC\Preview\MP3',
        'OC\Preview\OpenDocument',
        'OC\Preview\PNG',
        'OC\Preview\TXT',
        'OC\Preview\XBitmap',
        'OC\Preview\Photoshop'
    ],
}

Check

  • When accessing psd files on webview, the psd thumbnail appears. It might take a while depending on the server performance. 5 Mins in my case
  • Thumbnails reappeared on the Local Machine. 15 Mins roughly
