Bug Description
Binary package hint: dolphin
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
32-bit
apt-cache policy dolphin
dolphin:
Installed: 0.9.2-0ubuntu6.1
Candidate: 0.9.2-0ubuntu6.1
Simple explanation:
When managing large image files in dolphin using the "previews" mode many thumbnail-
To duplicate the problem:
Place a handful of large image files (I used 10 tiff files of 45.8 megapixels each) in a folder.
Open Dolphin and navigate to the folder containing the image files.
Ensure the "Previews" view mode is selected.
Ensure the "Right Sidebar" is enabled.
Simply hold the cursor over the icon of an image file until it tries to load a preview in the "Right Sidebar"
--A sub-process of kio_thumbnail will be spawned every time the previous step is repeated with a new file to the tune of 202MB each in my case. (2.02GB memory usage in this example from kio_thumbnail processes).
The system will begin to slow as the physical memory is exhausted and all system resources are required to facilitate the swapping.

Is this an issue with Intrepid or with dolphin-kde4 in Hardy?
