Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: gcc-3.2.2 Mandrake Cooker version OS: Linux I start Konqueror in my home dir. It presents me with a list of files (icon mode) and begins to generate icons for them. If a .doc file or .xls file is in the directory, a kde-init process starts to eat up memory very fast (200MB within seconds), unitl it gets killed by VM. The more files, the more memory it seems. If I kill the rampage process, a question mark icon appears instead of a preview thumbnail. Once I managed to have exavtly on .xls document in a directory, in which case konqueror did succeed to create a thumbnail, the memory usage went to only 200MB. This is a pretty serious bug, as it renders Konqueror unusable for normal use (as a file manager). See also http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200
As far as I'm concerned, otherofficethumbnails should be removed entirely.

Subject: Re: koffice/tools/thumbnail Sorry, the wrong bug was closed. I meant #55657 instead of #59377 Have a nice day! --- Original Message --- List: kde-cvs Subject: koffice/tools/thumbnail From: Nicolas Goutte <nicolasg () snafu ! de> Date: 2003-11-30 16:47:09 CVS commit by goutte: Disable generation of the "other office" thumbnails. The reasons are between many problems: - Konqueror tries to generate every thumbnail at the same time, which for filters is critical, as it can use too much computer-power. - Konqueror tries and re-tries to have a thumbnail, even if the filter has failed. - The KOffice filters have not a "batch mode" yet, so dialogs can show up. - The thumbnail generation might trigger bugs in the filters, which might end to any possible problems. (And Konquy tries then again...) CCMAIL:59377-close@bugs.kde.org CCMAIL:61885-close@bugs.kde.org (Possibily other bugs, including not reported ones.)
