Description Andrea Merli 2008-08-29 23:03:25 UTC 
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I opened the /home/my_name/.thumbnails/normal folder in dolphin, with view mode Icons selected.
I selected all files (more than a thousand *.png) in folder with CTRL+A then I dragged them to the Trash icon in the Places panel. Dolphin started trashing them,the window with progression bar indicated a very very slow progress (for sure it would have taken several minutes to complete the operation), and the dolphin main windows was updated slowly. 
As a work around I pressed the "Up" button and the operation became almost instantaneous. So i think that updating the main window was slowing the process.

This is related: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3683 ("KDE-4.2 will be 32 times faster deleting a large number of files compared to KDE-4.1"")

This bug seems to be a "duplicate" of bug 43356 (as the link says)
