Description ben 2024-03-13 18:53:22 UTC

I transfer audio files using kalarm scheduling on a daily basis.  When observing, via Dolphin, the importing of files to cifs linked folders then processing them with sox for transfer to an ingest folder (also cifs linked) the transfer is incomplete as to number of files transfered or data is completely missing from files due to Dolphin being open.  Everything works fine if Dolphin is not open.  Everything works fine in a terminal.  I can observe the process without issue with Thunar file manager however it doesn't display samba shares correctly (a long outstanding bug).  Dolphin is my preferred file manager because of its samba performance but if I am working with scripts and trying to observe performance I use Thunar because of this issue.   I have been doing this for many years and this only happened recently.

Thanks

I upgraded dolphin to version 23.08 and it is doing the same thing.  It dies during transfer of more than twenty files and craters the machine.  requiring a restart.   It is getting hung somehow during transfer.  Again this does not happen from the terminal or when viewing the process with Thunar.

So I notice it seems to only screw up the file transfer process and only when it is open at the time of transfer by bash/sox script.
