--- Comment #27 from Christian <k...@moin.fi> --- I have no experience in debugging KDE but started comparing versions and files because this bug is "bugging me". Could it be that this commit introduced the behaviour? It's the only change I could find that seems to be related to the background slideshow. https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/commit/ea32a7611227ca141bd60d983d1489d2be82d10f#diff-821d7994d425d401a2d150dca027d8dc My guess is that replacing the old code: m_timer.stop(); m_slideshowBackgrounds.clear(); m_unseenSlideshowBackgrounds.clear(); BackgroundFinder *finder = new BackgroundFinder(this, m_dirs); m_findToken = finder->token(); connect(finder, &BackgroundFinder::backgroundsFound, this, &Image::backgroundsFound); finder->start(); with the new code: m_timer.stop(); m_slideshowModel->reload(m_slidePaths); connect(m_slideshowModel, &SlideModel::done, this, &Image::backgroundsFound); somehow causes the whole plasma background to wait until all the paths have been scanned. Maybe the purpose of starting the "finder" after connecting it was just this, to avoid the delay? Just a guess. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
