When there are png's stored under /tmp opening the folder in dolphin generates thumbnails endlessly. Presume it's generating thumbnails of the thumbnails, /tmp being the location it stores them in causing it to pick-up on the new thumbnail resulting in a trigger to generate yet another thumbnail. Don't see this behaviour on other folders. I use /tmp for saving screenshots etc. a lot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Save .png under /tmp, for example with 'qrencode -o /tmp/test.png "This is a test"' 2. Open /tmp in dolphin 3. See the list of files growing rapidly Expected Results: Not creating thumbnails from thumbnails. Excluding something like /tmp/dolphin-*.png from thumbnail generation probably would suffice.

Assuming the observation is correct, upstream bugs.kde.org is the right place to file this bug.
Can anyone reproduce this? I'll file a bug upstream then. Tested with a clean user/profile. Took a screenshot with spectacle, stored it under /tmp (as png) and opened /tmp in dolphin. Keeps creating dolphin-<uglyrandomness>.png files then.
Did you test *not* creating files under /tmp as well? If you can do that, thus limiting the faulty behaviour with /tmp only, that's a pretty good start for an upstream bug. Don't forget adding the usual version information (in a non-Gentoo specific way), i.e. use kinfocenter's copy-to-clipboard info function and throw in dolphin's version from Help -> About dialog.
