Bug ID: 497671
Summary: Dolphin should remove old/unused thumbnails to avoid
too high disk space usage
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.kde.org.shine...@passinbox.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Thumbnail cache (du -h ~/.cache/thumbnails|sort -h)
can grow to around 10GB+ https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=154081
by default "keep only thumbnails for the folders visited in last 3 months and
remove rest"
"this really ought to be a configurable setting/feature with Dolphin"
Impact:
1. cleanup thumbnails for files that no longer exist.
2. avoid taking too much disk space for the files that are not really used in
months
Maybe the cleanup can be done if the drive usage exceeds some threshold like
80% or regularly, but rarely (during shutdown etc.) not to cause slowdowns due
to too many IO operations.
Some file systems/mountpoints does not use atime.
