Description Alexander Wipperfürth 2022-01-12 09:30:09 UTC

SUMMARY
Dolphin regenerates local thumbnails for videos etc. on hard drives connected via usb or sata that are not the drive with the operating system installed everytime the directory is being viewed.
 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect a new hard drive via sata
2. go to a folder on that hard drive that contains a lot of video files, let it generate the thumbnails for the first time
3. close dolphin and repeat step 2

OBSERVED RESULT
The thumbnails are being regenerated everytime which causes loud cpu noise and high usage for that time

EXPECTED RESULT
thumbnails should be loaded from cache
