I am able to reproduce this behavior on git-master but this is not a bug, from what I'm seeing. If you read the text of these files, they aren't a thumbnail cache. They are Dolphin settings cache files (see below) Therefore, one will be created each time you toggle the previews on or off, since that's a settings change. The files are reaped by the system at some point. On one system I had no dolphin files under /tmp until I started it On that and another system, all dolphin files under /tmp were from the current day. Each is very small (63b on one system, 275b on the other) $ cat dolphin.cUELOl [Dolphin] HeaderColumnWidths=409,112,152,190,214,185 PreviewsShown=false SortHiddenLast=true Timestamp=2025,2,5,20,26,40.163 Version=4 ViewMode=1 VisibleRoles=CustomizedDetails,Details_text,Details_size,Details_modificationtime,Details_creationtime,Details_type,Details_path Are you seeing a problem, such as the files taking up too much space? Or that these kinds of files stay around for many days? The behavior of leaving useless configuration templatory files could probably be dismissed as a bug, but it's always an appropriate behavior. How old are these files on your system? For me they are never more than one day old. 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
