--- Comment #48 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #47) > *** Bug 431256 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** For me the problem isn't actually during login (the login may be slowed by the same issue, but its not very slow and it only happens once) - the problem I have, as documented in the above dup bug report, is that the extraneous directory scanning happens every time I open a plasma shell dialog - even not the wallpaper configuration. This is a video showing the issue: http://test.geek.co.il/plasmashell-stuck-scanning-wallpapers.mp4 - in it you can me opening the system tray configuration dialog and waiting about 4 minutes until it is responsive, while plasma is scanning files and folders. It does not look like a single scan - strace shows plasmashell iterating over the same folders and files multiple times where each file is scanned 8 times. The weird thing is that this behavior seems to be centered around the path ~/.local/share/wallpapers - in my setup this contains a set of symbolic links to specific sub-folders in my wallpaper collection, or it could be a mount to NAS that contains the wallpaper collection, either way - in this setup I observed the behavior shown in the video. If I remove the symbolic links, or the mount, leaving ~/.local/share/wallpapers as an empty folder - then there is no problem: plasma dialogs are snappy and there is no freezing, regardless of how the wallpaper slideshow plugin is configured. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
