Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs I have been working with some photo CDs.where a disk may contain one or more damaged files. If any operation causes it to try to read a damaged file Dolphin freezes. It does not appear to have a time-out for elegant recovery. I have tested this in Mandriva 2009 and Fedora 9.
Thanks for the report. Would it be possible that you attach a small damaged file to this bug report? Does Dolphin "recover" from the freeze after some seconds or does it really crash? Also do you have the information panel open?
I have some problems here - the jpg files are not small, so I've uploaded a couple of damaged ones to http://tinyurl.com/645drx together with a crash report. The problem occurs when reading these files from CD, and it took many tries to get them copied to HDD. However, when I managed it, they are quite readable (though obviously damaged) from the HDD. Dolphin freezes, and so far as I can tell does not recover at all - After a good 2 minutes it was totally frozen. On re-opening dolphin on the CD content some time later I get instant previews of the file up to and including the damaged ones - just the point at which it froze before. No further previews are shown. Today I had the Information panel open. I don't think I had discovered the Information panel when I first reported this, but I am not certain of that.
I can confirm the freeze on trunk and 4.2 when using the damaged JPEGs from http://tinyurl.com/645drx, it seems to be related with the preview generator for JPEGs...
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
