Bug ID: 469445 Summary: screenMapping entry on config makes plasmashell slow down and eventually code dump Classification: Plasma Product: plasmashell Version: 5.27.4 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: Folder Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: 1niko...@hotmail.gr CC: h...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Inside the .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc in the [ScreenMapping] section, the screenMapping entry for some reason keeps all the files/folders and subfolders (of all depth) ever been to the desktop. When it gets bigger, it slows down plasmashell and makes it occasionally crash. All that until it gets big enough where it makes plasmashell not being able to open (core dump). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Put a folder with many files on the desktop (I used the wine source code) 2. Look at the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc config OBSERVED RESULT screenMapping has all the files of that folder. As a side effects, it slows down the load of plasmashell. EXPECTED RESULT Is this config entry even needed? At least it should remove the files when deleted from the desktop SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
