 Arnd Baecker I did not answer this for a long time - but in that time I hade dozends of critical crashes that took down the whole linux system due to diskplace problems. - Including lost data etc.

This is the ONLY high bug that I have with Linux. And I do have it since more than A YEAR now! - Excuse me for using capitals, but this is the most annoying bug that I know in the whole open source community. - And it takes data with it. I once lost the work of several hours because of no diskspace left. There is no other software in the moment that I know of on my system that has similar negative aspects.

This has always been caused by showfoto - and Linux always could be made startable after just cleaning up the /var/tmp/kdecache-<username>/showFoto directory.

And I higly would recommend to always clean up properly this directory by hand after having just used showFoto - or to risk the chance of loosing valuable data that may have nothing to do with images. The whole KDE can not run - and also can not go down properly with not enough diskspace to save the running session.

I would not recommend to wait with this problem after having fixed everything else!!

btw. I normally have about one gigabyte free on my root partition. showFoto needs indeed mostly several sessions to fill the diskspace up to the rim, but it could be filled up with perhaps 5 different photos. I use a 7 Megapixel camera. - I do like to use showFoto for several included features and its RAW-capabilities.

Please write me if I can help with any informations!
Go on with writing good software with nice things! - But just fix this as fast as possible: Please!!!
