break-word;">Since https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111920/, we use a separate \
thread for counting the items inside directories (e.g., for the &quot;Size&quot; \
column in Details View) to prevent that the GUI is blocked while handling large \
directories. However, this means that Dolphin now uses quite a lot of threads if \
there are many views. To see that, run Dolphin in gdb, open many tabs with Ctrl+T, \
and check the output of &quot;thread apply all backtrace.

I propose to make all views share the same thread. The QThread object is stored in a \
global variable, and each view increments/decrements a reference count when it \
starts/stops using the thread. If this thread reaches zero, the thread is \
stopped.</pre>  </td>
