Bug ID: 419429 Summary: tags:/ url creates huge IO load and temporarily eats up all disk space during thumbnail creation Product: dolphin Version: 19.12.3 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: bernhard+...@scheirle.de CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Opening a "tags:/" url in dolphin creates huge IO load and temporarily eats up all disk space while thumbnails are created. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have 2 HDDs (sda and sdb) [Not sure if this is required] The OS and especially /tmp/ is located on sda. User data is on sdb. 2. Tag large files (>100MB; The larger the easier to reproduce) on sdb with a tag containing fragments: MyTag/MySubTag 3. Open "tags:/MyTag/MySubTag/ OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin creates new thumbnails. (Even if the thumbnails were previously already created by opening the original file location (on sdb).) To create the thumbnails Dolphin copies the original files to /tmp/dolping.<xyz.part thereby creating a huge IO load and likely fills up sda completely. A full /tmp/ directory further then leads to all kind of other issues. EXPECTED RESULT * Don't copy files to /tmp/ to create thumbnails. * Don't create new thumbnails if already created for the original file.
