Dolphin Tooltip for jpegs taking 5 seconds to generate?
Talking 200k-800k 1000x1000 small jpegs. And was wondering if this is new slowdown?

As didn't notice before taking 5 secs. delay in generating tooltip popup of image & exif info in the popup tooltip.
And stays 5 secs. doesn't seem to cache the tooltip so same jpeg takes the same 5 seconds re-mousing over it the 2nd time.

Is it me just not noticing? Is it a Baloo thing? Is it a known issue?
And was wondering where to edit what's displays in the tooltip for images?
As I don't need to know about Photo Exposure Bias,Photo Exposure Time,Photo Sharpness,Photo WB,etc...

Thanks any clarifications or information regarding issues is greatly appreciated!

It seems to be a Baloo thing.

If the file has been indexed the information is shown without delay.

If the file is not indexed (Baloo settings forbid this) then the information preview will take longer. A workaroud is to kill the 'baloo_file' process. When the 'baloo_file' process is not running the information is shown without delay.

Thanks for that info and I suspected as much. So looked at processes.

Code: Select all

baloo_file - 5,456K shared mem - 27,176

Strange part as see it running. But wanted to compare.
So went back to my folders with jpegs and for some unfathuuummable reason.

They are popping up instantly. Not like before with the 5 sec. delay
And with me doing nada. And baloo_file process running.

So scratching my head in confused wonder!

But will keep an eye out and if the delay starts again then will kill that process.
But still leaves me wondering how to keep that process from starting in the first place.
As have indexing disabled. Or so I think I do?

Thanks again for your insights!

The second set were probably being loaded from the cache, which is stored at ~/.thumbnails/.
Could you try wiping it and seeing if the performance is slow again?
