Bug ID: 436505
Summary: Opening large file through dolphin causes large
increase in dolphin memory use
Product: dolphin
Version: 21.04.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: holle...@cs.dal.ca
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin, memory use ~25MB
2. Click to open a large (e.g. 1GB) file in another program
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin memory usage jumps to >500MB.
EXPECTED RESULT
Memory use is not significantly affected by clicking to open a file in another
program.
COMMENTS
I have observed this behavior also in Dolphin 20.12, and across multiple file
types, such as an archive opened in Ark, and a video. The detective work was
done by another in bug 398908, and also reproduced by a third user. In all
cases, memory use did not increase if the file was opened via right click and
selecting "Open with <program>" in the menu. I am creating this report because
398908 is a reopened bug from 3 years ago for a presumably unrelated issue.
