Description Rolf Martin-Hoster 2009-04-08 22:08:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This has been an unresolved bug since KDE3. Listed in 83270, 122036, 150348, 156989, 77135, 131994 and others that I can no longer find.

There needs to be a way to :

A. Limit the number of files KIO will try to open actively (queue the rest) on one remote host.

OR

B. force all of the kio windows into one window (there used to be an option for this in file manager as I found in a bug report earlier but this no longer seems to be the case in dolphin and I can no longer find the bug to reference).

Loading over 10 files breaks plasma as all the prodcess dialog windows open and just hang until the kwallet can be loaded and a username password entered. This causes kate to crash, locks the system (plasma), leaves zombied kio_* processes and many other bad things to happen. Some of my sessions include 200+ files and kate is become less than useful when I cannot easily navigate between them.

121136 was the bug that I was looking for that mentions a configuration option to limit this to one dialog. No more File Manager, where would I find this?

@David Faure: What can we do about it from the Kate side?

fix problem with massive amounts of dialogs or notifications killing plasma and co.
still not optimal, as no nice notification in kate, but that is no regression, the other dialogs didn't hint to kate either
this avoids freeze of session

inline display that a file is still loading
threshold: show it after one second, if still not done, to avoid ugly flicker

no dialogs, no focus loss ;)
