Hey, I'm starting development of a ThumbCreator-based thumbnailer plugin based on kffmpegthumbnailer (https://github.com/dirkvdb/ffmpegthumbnailer/tree/master/kffmpegthumbnailer) and ffmpegthumbs (https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/ffmpegthumbs), and I have managed to get some simple code working in Dolphin.
The problem is that some part of the system (some kind of KDE service cache?) seems to be caching my thumbnailer's shared library because when I change its code and recompile, the new changes don't seem to come into effect right away. I don't know what triggers it to eventually load the new version - it seems to just magically happen after a few minutes. Even if I restart Dolphin, disable and re-enable the thumbnailer in Dolphin, or run `kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental` - it doesn't seem to change anything. It's borderline impossible to develop when I can never be sure if it's running the old or the new version. My current code isn't online anywhere yet, but it's still mostly identical to kffmpegthumbnailer if that helps. I simply symlinked the .so-file in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins (so it should always see the newest version), the .desktop-file for the service in /usr/share/kservices5 and the .kcfg-file in /usr/share/config.kcfg. Can I maybe force KDE to reload the new library, or something similar? Regards, David Lerch
