Bug ID: 464033
Summary: Drag and drop large file to desktop causes system to
hang
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kroot...@gmail.com
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The system hangs when a file is dragged from Dolphin to the desktop. It looks
as if the file is cached in memory before the menu to select copy/move etc is
displayed. This is especially problematic as extremely large files can cause
the system to hang for multiple minutes.
This does not occur when dragging from one Dolphin session to another as the
copy/move menu is displayed right away.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag a large file from Dolphin to the desktop without holding any modifier
keys. My test file is 100 GB.
OBSERVED RESULT
System hangs until the file has been transferred completely and then the menu
is shown to select copy/move. While system is hung, cached memory increases
until full. Not sure what is happening if file that is being transferred is
larger than free RAM as hard drive does not indicate any activity.
EXPECTED RESULT
When a file is dragged to the desktop, display the menu to select copy/move
before file is transferred.
