--- Comment #6 from David Faure <fa...@kde.org> --- ~/.local/share/applications isn't "watched" (in the sense of inotify) (we used to do that, and it was a lot of trouble due to inotify limits (kdevelop or qtcreator easily used up all inotify watchers) -- plus, what if the change happens while not in Plasma...). Instead the directory timestamps are compared with the cache's timestamp any time the cache is used (i.e. "on demand"). This happens when e.g. clicking on a file and we have to find out which app to launch -- the cache will be updated first. This makes the solution very robust. Dolphin's code is surely similar: upon opening the context menu, it first checks for changes. But I'm not sure about the case of the K menu, I didn't work on that part. If it's all about the K menu, then the bug needs to move to plasma (well, unless the plasma people are counting on KDE Frameworks for this, but hopefully not - I vaguely remember something about updating this when opening the K menu, based on timestamps again, which would be the right time to do so....) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
