So I have now installed 15.2 on all 3 pcs that I regularly use... All overall very happy with the new system... On my desktop only, I have had some issues with the system slowing down and locking up. It seems to be related to plasma. My desktop has an nvidia graphics card and I run 3 monitors off of it. For background on the setup, I read somewhere, I think in the forums, something about disabling an Xorg file or something like that, so that the graphics driver it uses is the one that is part of the kernel? It had me do something that disabled making it point to nouveau or a proprietary nvidia driver, but I can't remember what I did. In any case, the system seems to work ok except that sometimes I seem to get these intermittent hangs. (If anyone can remember the link to the tutorial that described that procedure that would be great, because I am kicking myself now for not having bookmarked it.) So I decided to fully reset kde by removing the .config directory and set everything up again from scratch. I have run into a snag in the setup now. I like to set a slideshow for my desktop to pictures on my hard disk that I have taken. I noticed that when configuring the desktop, the new applet for 15.2 provides a thumbnail preview for every single picture that is added in when setting up a slideshow. This is where the snag hits, and I think I know why. If I add a directory that just has 30 or so pictures, or even up to 100 or so pictures, it is no big deal. The system finds all the pictures right away, makes thumbnails and puts the thumbnails in the preview pane, and within a couple of seconds everything is fine. The problem comes when I add one of my pictures directories that has thousands and thousands of pictures. Because the applet is built so that it won't let you out until it has retrieved thumbnails for every single picture in every subdirectory, it locks up plasma. For a long time. A really long time. I haven't found out how long because I have to kill X every time with ctrl-alt-double backspace after 15 minutes or so. It clearly doesn't need to put preview thumbnails for all 30,000 pictures in that little applet. Perhaps someone on the development team could modify the way it looks at that? Do I need to send this to KDE instead of noting it here? I haven't tried setting up a slideshow on my other 2 pcs, which are both laptops and neither one uses nvidia, so I don't know for sure if the problem is more with nvidia on my desktop or with the way the applet is coded.
