Description Jaakko Holster 2005-01-10 14:55:59 UTC
Version:           3.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-3)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-1-686

Konqueror interrupts image thumbnail creation process, if users clicks/open a file before all thumbnails are created.

How to re-produce:

1) Make sure icon view and thumbnails for images are enabled
2) Open a folder containing lot of (big) images, i.e photos from digicam
3) Open any image file with separate viewer or in new window _before_ all thumbnails are created (that's why you need to have lot of files and/or slow machine)
4) Opening a file causes thumbnail process to stop - this is a bug

Dirty fix:

Press F5 / reload.

Confirmed with current 3.4 CVS.
It only happens when the action on double-click (open) opens in a separate window. If I select in RMB "open with->kuickshow", then the thumbnail generation continues.

actually turns out there is slightly older bug 95383 that deals with the same thing :)

Look like this bug is fixed.
Comment 5 richlv 2006-08-15 17:14:46 UTC
still reproducible in 3.5.4.
doubleclicking on a file stops thumbnail creation.
Comment 6 Linus Östberg 2008-05-17 13:10:13 UTC
Confirmed in 3.5.9, works fine in Dolphin (Konq 4 has no support for previews?).
Comment 7 FiNeX 2009-10-03 14:58:43 UTC
All reports about file management mode reported against KDE 3 (konqueror) has been closed: konqueror in KDE 3 is no more developed and mantained. All bugs and wishes which could be interesting for Dolphin in KDE 4 (the new KDE file manager) has been collected into a specific list.

Please try the new file manager before request new features and report bugs.

Before submitting new reports check carefully the already opened KDE/Dolphin reports in order not to add duplicates.

Many thanks.

P.S: the thumbnail generation has been rewritten on KDE4.
