Subject: kio_thumbnail Date: 07 Nov 2002 14:27:52 -0600 From: John Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I saw a posting you made to a mailing list detailing a problem you had with kio_thumbnail hogging all system resources. Turns out I had the same problem and it was very hard to solve. In my case I believe the problem was related to a link I had on the desktop though I'm not really sure. I had a symbolic link on my desktop to a microsoft Excel file in my Documents directory. When I first created the link it did not seem to cause a problem but now, everytime I drag the file from my documents directory and say "Link Here" it send the machine into an endless memory eating loop untill I kill the kio_thumbnail process. It seems to only be with that Excel file as some others I tested did not cause this problem. I could not reply directly to the list you posted too because I am not subscribed but perhaps you could post this for me as a follow up in case someone else is having this problem and this might help them? John ------------------------------------------------------- I am forwarding this to the mailiing list as required. I don't have any excel files so it doesn't apply to me but ut may help someone else.
