Version: 1.99 (using Devel) OS: Linux If you download a file and you have an instance of dolphin open. The instance is refresh all the time and moving the icons all the time. Files are very difficult to select with the mouse. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: dowload a file, open a dolphin instance at the place of the download. Actual Results: refresh and move the icons all the time Expected Results: do not move the icons because of the download.
Does the file during download progress have the ".part" extension, so that Dolphin knows that it is not the final version of the file?
@Christoph: Even if it does not have a .part extension Dolphin should not refresh the previews each time the file changes (I guess the reporter forgot to mention that previews are turned on). This is currently an open issue in KFileItemModelRolesUpdater - we already have a solution in KFilePreviewGenerator from kdelibs and I'll use a similar approach to fix this (I could not use KFilePreviewGenerator for several reasons anymore).
Indeed I forgot to mention that the preview mode was on. Sorry.
I also forgot to mention that the extension was not part but crdownload

Prevent generating previews all the time during downloading a large file When downloading a large file the preview should not be recreated each time a change-notification has been received. Create the preview after getting the first file change, but postpone creating the next previews until no change has been done during a longer period of time.
