SUMMARY *** Dolphin creates temporary files in /tmp when thumbnailing image files from "smb:" mounts (r/w or r/o). Over time, these files fill /tmp eg: -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 May 16 11:38 dolphin.ExHKzo -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 8577350 May 16 11:38 dolphin.ExHKzo.part -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 May 16 11:38 dolphin.IeQYAj -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 14409948 May 16 11:38 dolphin.IeQYAj.part *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure 'preview' is set to enabled for remote files in dolphin 2. Open smb mount - eg smb://192.168.1.11/photos2022_RW/3_Mar/ 3. Observe as thumbnails are generated increasing number of files in /tmp/ - these are never removed OBSERVED RESULT -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 May 16 11:38 dolphin.ExHKzo -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 8577350 May 16 11:38 dolphin.ExHKzo.part -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 May 16 11:38 dolphin.IeQYAj -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 14409948 May 16 11:38 dolphin.IeQYAj.part EXPECTED RESULT No objection to files being created in order to thumb - but should be removed post thumbnail SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Dolphin version 4:21.12.3-0ubuntu1 Note: Does not appear to happen when mounting the same location via sshfs - only via smb Note2: Does appear some of the files are created and subsequently removed - but not all
I'm seeing this too. It's not difficult to fill up /tmp by browsing a photo collection via the smb kioslave. Should this bug be reassigned to the kioslave?
