I feel like I've seen a similar bug report a couple months ago though for the life of me I can't remember what the specifics were. What I **think** happens here is that since you are inside a symlink the effective path of the directory is /home/stalker/Desktop/stalker/Apps which dolphin then doesn't find in the database of samba usershares because the path there is /home/stalker/Apps. i.e. something (not necessarily dolphin) would need to at some point resolve the path (which includes a symlink) to the canonical file path (which includes no symlinks anywhere). This is kind of problematic though because that would have to happen for every single directory that ever gets displayed in the view, potentially causing a lot of unnecessary disk access but certainly causing unnecessary power drain for basically only this niche corner case of share overlays (I dont think we have other overlays?). I'm not sure this is necessarily something we want to solve from an energy efficiency POV.

That's it. Of course there were no performance concern with the change to kdenetwork-filesharing since there's only ever one path we need to resolve. Quite a different story if it's 10k or more as would be the case here for dolphin's view. |
