While this is true, it may or may not be a problem, and may even be preferred behaviour. If I'm going across the Internet, it causes problems. However, when I access files on a local server across a gigabit LAN, I'd like the option to have the gazillion requests made. Dolphin already does this, based on file size. Preferences->General->Previews: "Skip previews for remote files above" (size). Would it not be possible to use the same setting to determine whether to perform magic number checking? At least, can data obtained for previews not also be used for magic numbers? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
