Bug ID: 417070
Summary: KRunner makes excessive writes during searching.
Product: krunner
Version: 5.14.5
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: ha...@bayindir.org
Target Milestone: ---

One day of iotop statistics, running in cumulative mode, sorted by disk write.
SUMMARY
KRunner can write ~2.2GB of data to disk in a couple of searches.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Call KRunner with its shortcut.
2. Write something.
OBSERVED RESULT
KRunner makes a lot of disk calls and writes a lot of data, genrally to .cache
folder. This wears down SSD disks pretty fast.
EXPECTED RESULT
A more milder disk access pattern (mostly reads, much less write)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Testing.
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
Qt Version: 5.12.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
System I/O is monitored via fatrace and iotop. When running fatrace with -cC
krunner --filter=CWD in the home directory of the user, the effects of
triggering a search is becomes very visible. Keeping iotop open for a single
day in accumulation mode and ordered by disk write reveals pretty shocking
write statistics for a couple of KDE processes.
