--- Comment #26 from flan_suse <windows2li...@zoho.com> --- Because I can't create a KDE Identity account (my email gets flagged as "spam"), I'll reply in here to Nate. On the merge request Nate wrote: "Personally I think the ideal way to fix this would be to store the thumbnails for files located on an encrypted drive on that drive itself, rather than in the user's home directory." Please don't do this. 1. It breaks from standards 2. External drives are slower, especially with laptops that use NVMe and SSD internal drives 3. It's incongruent with network shares 4. It creates extra (slower) writes on an external USB If the user's home directory lives on an encrypted space, this should be a non-issue from the very beginning. Store cached thumbnails in the standard directory. If the user's home directory does not live on an encrypted space, give the user's a choice (such as a simple option of "Allow storing thumbnails of images from encrypted source in the user's cache". You can even have this option regardless... Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be. Encrypted home? No problems. Store thumbnails like they have been for years and years. Plain home? Default to a "secure" method, but give the user the option to change this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
