Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux dolphin freezes when cutting many files (500-1000) in icon view. did try with empty files, images and mp3 files. its the same. when cutting a few files with sum of 5gb its not an issue. pressing ctrl+c is not an issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: go to a folder with more than 1000 files. switch to icon view ctrl+a ctrl+x Actual Results: the dolphin window freezes for seconds or minutes depending on the amount of selected files. if too many files are selected you can think its a crash. Expected Results: no freeze
Thanks for the report. I cannot reproduce the issue locally here and my current guess is that it might be a graphics driver issue, because the "grey icon effect" is applied to each cut icon. Does the situation change if you start Dolphin like this: dolphin -graphicssystem raster ?
no i have still the same issue with dolphin -graphicssystem raster
> the "grey icon effect" is applied to each cut icon The effect should only be applied on visible items, otherwise I would consider this a bug. Regarding the delay, could Klipper be an issue? Try quitting Klipper and check if you can reproduce.
did quit klipper. still an issue.
did read this in /dolphin/src/dolphinview.cpp: void DolphinView::cutSelectedItems() { QMimeData* mimeData = selectionMimeData(); KonqMimeData::addIsCutSelection(mimeData, true); QApplication::clipboard()->setMimeData(mimeData); } void DolphinView::copySelectedItems() { QMimeData* mimeData = selectionMimeData(); QApplication::clipboard()->setMimeData(mimeData); } the difference between copy and paste was the KonqMimeData::addIsCutSelection(mimeData, true); line. so i tried the same in Konqueror and quess what happened. same issue in kde-base/konqueror-4.4.5
did open a konqueror bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257950
after upgrading to 4.5.4 the issue is gone.
