Description martinp2000 2003-06-15 02:40:42 UTC

Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

The file tree doesn't show the + sign in front of subfolders in the project. The sign appears when the folder is opened by double-clicking on it's name.

I believe its behaviour is due to performance reasons: scanning the entire filetree 
maybe slow of several systems and so only folders which are "clicked on" by the user 
are there filled up (and from then they are working as expected. Anyway folder items, 
have "folder" icons ;) 
Is this the case of a feature which seems a bug? I think so!

>Is this the case of a feature which seems a bug? 

It's a bit of both. :)

The FileTree used to show the '+' signs. The reason I disabled that was that this, in some cases, spawned a huge number of kio_file processes, which ate cpu and memory and never seemed to want to go away.

So, it IS an "optimization" on our part, but mostly because it's a workaround for bad KDE behaviour.

I didn't close this report when it came in because it is technically correct, we don't show the '+' signs, but as we don't really intend to, this is technically not a bug.

So, closing as INVALID and hoping the KDE issues will be resolved (or FileTree rewritten...)
