Bug ID: 509456
Summary: Property dialog doesn't refresh file size, may show
outdated file size
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The property dialog doesn't refresh the file size, it may show an outdated file
size for a file that is rewritten while the folder view was already open. In
fact, even browsing away and returning to the folder in Dolphin may keep the
old file size. Only issuing a manual refresh reliably works.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save two different short video clips to your home folder, .mp4 or .webm or
similar
2. Open up your home folder in dolphin
3. While dolphin is open, open up a terminal
4. In the terminal, run this command: ffmpeg -i your_first_web_clip.webm
your_first_web_clip.gif
5. Dolphin should still be open at this point. Hover the new .gif file for its
file size.
6. Now run this in the terminal: ffmpeg -i your_second_web_clip.webm
your_first_web_clip.gif
7. In Dolphin, if you hover your mouse over the file it shows the old outdated
size.
8. Right-click the file and click "Properties". Check the file size in the
properties dialog.
OBSERVED RESULT
"Properties" dialog shows very outdated file size from the very moment it opens
up. That doesn't seem how it should work.
EXPECTED RESULT
Opening up the "Properties" dialog should always re-fetch all the file
attributes to show them at the moment of the dialog opening up.
