Summary: Bookmark icons should not be stored in cache directory
Product: konqueror
Version: 4.6.5
Platform: Unlisted Binaries
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: bookmarks
AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
ReportedBy: gaaf@gmx.net
Version: 4.6.5
OS: Linux
The bookmark icons are stored in the cache directory, which is, by default, not
shared among different machines, like the homedir is. Because of this, a
bookmark added at one machine has no icon on all other machines.
Another failure case i noticed recently is when the /var/tmp is mounted on a
tmpfs (to save SSD wear, a use-case becoming more common nowadays). Being a
cache, it shouldn't matter to an application if the data in it disappears
between application invocations. It should only result in a somewhat slower
response, not failure. Bookmark icons _do_ fail however.
Suggested fix: move icons associated with bookmarks to a persistent folder (not
all favicons from visited sites).
Since i wiped the /var/tmp/kdecache-${USER} directory, bookmark icons seem to
be the only persistent data missing.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Bookmark a site having an icon
2) Log out of KDE
3a) Wipe /var/tmp/kdecache-${USER}
OR
3b) Switch to another machine with a shared homedir
4) Log into KDE again
Actual Results:
5) Notice how bookmark icons are gone and will not return (automatically).
Expected Results:
5) Icons are still present
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.39-2-amd64
Compiler: gcc
