Version: unknown (using KDE 3.4.1, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.7 How to reproduce: ----------------- 1. Right-Click on a folder with thousands of file say "kdesvn" (downloaded using kdesvn-build inlcuding extragear playground kdereview, etc.) 2. Press Shift and click "Move to Trash" (to delete the thousands of files) 3. Now, wait for ages to only see the list of file being loaded for deletion... causing frustration. Expected Behavior: ------------------ 1. the files should get deleted instantly instead of loading (searching for which files has to be deleted) or instead of making "a list of files" to be deleted, KDE should delete the files. I assume that KDE behaves like this: 1. ls -lR kdesvn > files_to_be_deleted.txt 2. rm -rvf `cat files_to_be_deleted.txt` Whereas a user would expect this: 1. rm -rvf kdesvn KDE is unnecessarily making a list of files to be deleted, which it can show by "-v" option of rm i.e., rm -rvf <folder>. thanks.
I've also test this behavior (slow deletion of many-many files) with KDE 3.5 beta (svn)
