--- Comment #2 from Michael <mjevans1...@gmail.com> --- Possibly related files? This function seems to fire off 'directory listings' which continue to churn in the background even after the dialog is finished. IMO this is an error. There's no limit to the number of results cached, nor a work cancel on dialog close. https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/core/kcoredirlister.cpp?ref_type=heads#L587 Similarly there's no limit, nor a way of checking the directory for a single name we already have (or that the user updates within the dialog). https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/core/listjob.cpp?ref_type=heads However, curiously, I don't know what really changed to make things suddenly so much worse. My new computer is way beefier, tons of RAM, to the point where I'm comfortable using btrfs compress=zstd and zram-generator ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram ). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
