I forward here an e-mail that had no replies in k...@lists.fedoraproject.org
Today on #fedora-kde, user rom1dep complained about Dolphin (KDE 4) taking ~5 seconds to start. He said that removing .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml.bak solved the problem. Those files contained thousands of lines about old (and no longer used) removable devices. Since I am running Plasma 5 and I was experiencing slow Dolphin start times too, I tried to check how many code lines had my /bookmarks.xml. I saw that it contained 7161 lines, for 228 KiB of disk space. I tried to remove those files, then logged out&in from Plasma, and then I saw that Dolphin required much less time to start. Removing those files did not affect the resources/bookmarks that everyday I use in Dolphin. Do you confirm that removing those files reduces Dolphin start time? Why do they contain all that stuff about unused removable devices? I could see lines of XML code about Fedora 16 (now Fedora lastest version is 22) >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
