Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (868 mails)

[John Andersen <jsamyth@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have these monster files that look like text enough to fool kwrite into trying
to open them if the user accidentally clicks them.

Users running dolphin occasionally click to focus, and accidentally launch
kwrite which tries to open the file, and since they are very large, they
consume all available memory, and pretty much kill opensuse 11.4.

It becomes so unresponsive you have a hard time killing the task, and even if
you do, X becomes non-responsive.

What can settings can I make so that these files don't look like text?

(They are BRU backup archives, and the extension is the only thing
that distinguishes them.  Internally, they look like text deep enough
to fool the magic file type determination).
