Instead of relying on KDirWatch, can't you somehow check whether the cache is
still valid before you reuse it? Maybe something like:
check mtime/ctime of dir
if modified
throw away cache
else
show cache
validate (and update) cached items
Checking the mtime/ctime should detect new/deleted files I think, so you only
need to validate to update any file attributes (time/size)
You could also check with KIO::probably_slow_mounted and keep using KDirWatch
when it isn't slow.
Cheers,
Waldo
