To be honest I'm not sure if image optimization works well. Because during the week I copy a lot of images and plasmashell as I wrote starts to consume almost 1.5 gigabytes of RAM. But anyway, I think the best solution in this situation would be to just add a warning about RAM consumption, just like in Konsole. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
