Bug ID: 424373 Summary: Gvenview uses enormous amounts of RAM when browsing big image collections with thumbnails bar on Product: gwenview Version: 20.04.3 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: halftough...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When browsing huge collections of images (around 10000 and more) with previews bar enabled, gwenview can easily use up few GB of RAM. It appears application loads data for every single image in the directory and stores it in memory. This could be optimized by limiting loaded previews to images user can see + some margin for images that are likely to be viewed soon. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Prepare directory with large number of images 2. Open one of images 3. enable thumbnails bar OBSERVED RESULT Application uses few gigabytes of RAM EXPECTED RESULT Ram usage should be much smaller SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.19 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 5.3.0-62-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSE2 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
