Description dE 2011-04-23 14:09:16 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When you ask dolphin to enable thumbnail view, kio_thumbnail starts up, however when you turn the thumbnails off, the process still persists, it's expected to be killed.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-12-08 07:16:17 UTC 
The thumbnail process is implemented as a KIO process and like every other kioslave it is managed by KDE IO schedeuler. When kioslaves finish their work, they are kept for a given duration, in case they need to be resued, before they are killed after a certain duration (~ 3 mins). Simply enabling and disabling the preview button in dolphin will not kill these processes.
