Description

all dependencies seem to be ok.
config.php is correctly configured
previews generate without errors
The proof that everything is working is that if i delete files, they correctly appear with a thumbnail in trasbin.
All other folders miss previews.
Looks like trash folder uses a completely different logic for thumbnail generation.

The issue is reproduceable in 25.0 all sub versions and in Beta 26
