I simply added fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 to /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted. I'm positive that it already worked a year ago (and I forgot to give timely feedback). Currently I'm running Kubuntu 18.04, KDE-Plasma 5.12.7, Frameworks 5.47.0, Kernel 4.15.0, Dolphin 17.12.3. With the work-around described, the bug does not affect me anymore. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
