--- Comment #1 from TraceyC <kdedev at tlcnet.info> ---
I am able to reproduce this behavior on git-master but this is not a bug, from
what I'm seeing. 

If you read the text of these files, they aren't a thumbnail cache. They are
Dolphin settings cache files (see below)
Therefore, one will be created each time you toggle the previews on or off,
since that's a settings change. 

The files are reaped by the system at some point.  
On one system I had no dolphin files under /tmp until I started it
On that and another system, all dolphin files under /tmp were from the current
day. Each is very small (63b on one system, 275b on the other)

$ cat dolphin.cUELOl 
[Dolphin]
HeaderColumnWidths=409,112,152,190,214,185

Are you seeing a problem, such as the files taking up too much space? Or that
these kinds of files stay around for many days?
