Summary of the issue you are facing:

When i activate preview Images with ‘enable_previews’ => true, my nextcloud works as long as i want to open a picture that is not properly previewed?! I don´t know exactly whats the problem. Logs are not giving me infos to it. When i try to open such a picture my nextcloud is like hanging up. With hangig up here i mean i can navigate throug my nextcloud but nothing will load. Like when i go to Data no folders are visible. After some time it works again, but as soon as i click one of these images it “crashes” again for some time. When i set ‘enable_previews’ => false in config.php, everything works fine so far. I can open every Picture, no problems. I tried some Settings from here:
Configuration Parameters — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

but without success. For example what i tried:

‘enable_previews’ => true,
‘preview_max_x’ => 1024,
‘preview_max_y’ => 1024,
‘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’,
],

So if anyobody could help me out here to find where is the problem would be lovely, cause i don´t know where to set on anymore.
