Idealistic dreams about having your code in gazillionth normal form are *not* an excuse for *removing features* and having users wait before you actually bring your code into gazillionth normal form, which is a goal you will *never* achieve. If there are problems with the old implementation, focus on fixing them first, and then tinker with your new super-elegant reorganization in a sandbox that does not affect users. What's that with Dolphin being blocked while generating thumbnails? Is a worker thread used? No? What's the original bug# for that defect? I'm genuinely interested in trying to fix the old implementation even if it would only be used temporarily. > I'd also like to note that I won't do any further comments > to this thread anymore.

Had you instead decided to fix this in a quick, dirty and temporary way for KDE SC 4.0.1, then all the energy you have wasted on defending your wrong choice in this thread could have been put to work on the final clean fix, which would then probably be ready by now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
