Bug ID: 368480
Summary: Panel and Desktop temporarily freeze when moving and
overwriting multiple files through Dolphin
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: joao.vidal.si...@gmail.com
If you move files using Dolphin and some of them overwrite others in the
destination folder, the Panel and the Desktop will freeze temporarily.
The freeze duration is proportional to the number of files being overwritten,
not to their size nor to the medium speed.
My platform is Manjaro (btw, maybe you could add it to the combobox).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
In this example we'll build a test scenario:
1. Launch Dolphin and show the embedded terminal (press F4)
2. Run in the terminal the line below. This will create a folder 'test' inside
'/tmp' and inside it a folder called 'subfolder'. It will also create in both
folders a set of 50 empty files named '1' to '50'. I chose '/tmp' because in my
system it is tmpfs, so we're working in RAM. Dolphin will end up showing the
contents of '/tmp/test/subfolder'.
mkdir /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test && for a in {1..50}; do touch $a; done && mkdir
subfolder && cd subfolder && for a in {1..50}; do touch $a; done
3. Select all files and press Ctrl-X to mark the 'cut'
4. Go up one folder to '/tmp/test' and press Ctrl-V to paste the files. When
asked if you want to overwrite files, check 'Apply to all' and press
'Overwrite'
5. Quickly navigate to 'subfolder' to find it empty.
6. The Notifications icon on the Panel started showing the operation's progress
but is now frozen as is the entire Panel and Desktop.
7. After a while all goes back to normal and you'll be notified the operation
ended.
