Are any
KDE dolphin/konqueror developers subscribed to this mailing list? Should I ask
elsewhere?
One note is that I noticed it also happens when I browse the ntfs-3g partition
using
Dolphin. It does not happen with GNOME's Nautilus, but I naturally prefer
Konqueror. It
may be because Konqueror and Dolphin keep rescanning the directory which
inflicts the
load on ntfs-3g, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
