To enable previews in both the folder and in files, open Dolphin's settings > Configure Dolphin > General tab > Previews. In there, select "Folders" as well as whichever file type you wish to view previews for.

• In the right window, you can see previews of individual files.
• The window on top is Dolphin's settings to enable the previews you want. Both Folders and Postscript, PDF and DVI files are selected.
• Note that there are sliders at the bottom of each pane for you to adjust the icon size for optimal viewing.
