Description BRULE Herman 2009-12-08 21:35:20 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hello,
Set rights over sftp as large folder freeze all kde application, espacial dolphin and konqueror.
But kwin work and respond.
For exemple selection in konqueror not work (freeze), menu same, and rework when the right application is finished.
Please use async call with signal/slot or use thread.
Thanks.

kio_sftp has been rewritten in KDE 4.4. I think the same problem still exists in the new version cause sftp is implemented as blocking IO. We have plans to change this in libssh next year.

There is nothing I can do in kio_sftp to change this. If this should be threaded you should open a general kioslave bug.
