Description loader2x 2009-07-29 10:00:52 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.95)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

System crashes while dolphin displays thumbnails of folders containing many images ( >50000 on my system)
Dolphin seems to compute the thumbnails for all images.
I think dolphin should stop when the RAM is full.

Which program crash exaclty? Dolphin or something else? Can you provide a backtrace of the crash?

Thanks.

kio_thumb had a know crash with some files under some situation, but that is now fixed. Also, you can try to update your package to 4.2.98 or 4.3.0 (when it is out) Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your quick response.

I witness a system crach. The dolphin doesnt crash but the machine is not
usable. CPU and memory are used at 100% after a while when dolphin displays
the thumbnails.
I was not possible to log on the machine with SSH, I had to reboot.

Cheers

- How many images has the dir that is causing this behaviour ? Are they big ?
- Can you check if this is the true cause disabling the image previews ? (Dolphin Settings / General / Preview)

Thanks

It was about 60000 vga pictures. Dolphin displays the folder without
crashing when preview is disabled.
Cheers

Mh, this could be a KFile/KIO(thumbnail) bug too.
Comment 7 Dario Andres 2009-08-13 01:00:01 UTC
Motivated by bug 203628 I should ask: do you have mplayerthumbs enabled ? Thanks
