Just retested the pathological case of this leak, which involves creating and deleting desktop files as fast as you can (thousands of times) via a script. In that case even the latest gnome-shell-extension- desktop-icons still leaks badly. So the fix I had hopes for is not enough:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop- icons/-/commit/16447ab5bebcd4efb792e25335438f43b503c3e6 Of course this bug was already closed because a bigger leak was successfully fixed. If anyone finds the pathological case in the wild then we should handle it in a new bug. ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815550 Title: gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when desktop files are constantly created or deleted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1815550/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
