Hi, why does Konqueror have to count through (and seemingly look at) every file in a directory, before moving, copying or deleting it? I just deleted a folder containing about 260MB of mixed files - but before Konqueror deleted them, it laboriously counted through every single file in the directory. This took nearly 6 minutes! (On a 3.2 GHZ Machine with 1GB of RAM, that is very long for such a relatively small folder). This happens all the time with Konqueror and I have always wondered about it. BTW I have used KDE for over 5 years - and have used numerous distros - so I am not just some n00b who doesn't know what they are talking about. I just finally got round to asking something I have always wanted to know. GJ ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
