And I don't expect a quick fix. But just to have it documented somewhere, since the problem is real and for example right now I don't remember why an incremental gtk-update-icon-cache wasn't possible. Updating kdenlive, an example of a package needed the full MIME + .desktop + icons scriplets, the problem gets obvious. You get half a second to update the MIME database, less than 20 ms to update the mime -> application database... and EIGHT SECONDS (2 for hicolor and 6 for oxygen) to update the GTK icon database. I run them twice to discard cache effects. $ time /usr/bin/update-mime-database "/usr/share/mime" Unknown media type in type 'all/all' Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu' Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu' real 0m0.495s user 0m0.389s sys 0m0.104s $ time /usr/bin/update-mime-database "/usr/share/mime" Unknown media type in type 'all/all' Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu' Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu' real 0m0.501s user 0m0.386s sys 0m0.111s $ time /usr/bin/update-desktop-database --quiet "/usr/share/applications" real 0m0.017s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.005s $ time /usr/bin/update-desktop-database --quiet "/usr/share/applications" real 0m0.014s user 0m0.009s sys 0m0.004s $ time /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --force "/usr/share/icons/hicolor" real 0m1.951s user 0m0.871s sys 0m0.155s $ time /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --force "/usr/share/icons/hicolor" real 0m1.968s user 0m0.853s sys 0m0.173s $ time /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --force "/usr/share/icons/oxygen" real 0m6.413s user 0m2.899s sys 0m0.478s $ time /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --force "/usr/share/icons/oxygen" real 0m5.926s user 0m2.921s sys 0m0.467s -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
