OK – this is the fifth time I start the first sentence. So now I will just write like it comes to mind… backspace, backspace, mark/delete…. Oh, damn it. I just pushed a fix to master and 4.7 which fixes the memory leak in the filewatch service. The root of it was the same as in the file indexer service: no event loop in the work thread means DBus events piling up without ever being garbage collected.
Well, that is fixed now and the filewatch service will not steal all your memory anymore.
I have three days left until KDE 4.7.3 and I want to make them count!

YOU ROCK
Sorry for shouting. :) I finally found my way to using the DONATE button, too. Keep going. :)
Great job ! :-)

If this is getting into 4.7.3, I will make a Party!
It will be in 4.7.3. :)
If only I were to see an analogous fix in akonadi_nepomuk_email_feeder… (this time is dbus-daemon eating a gig of RAM, so, the problem must be similar)
Yeap, I have the same.
Here too… And that fix should also make it into 4.7.3 so that it makes it into the upcoming openSUSE 12.1 release (in 22 days) :D
I suppose there is a bug report, too. Do you have the link (that avoids searching a non-semantic bug database ;)
Yes, I saw that, and you told us, in that bug report: the akonadi_nepomuk_email_feeder bug is gone with precisely this bugfix!
You told us to retest with KDE 4.7.3, so we’ll do that.
Maybe, this is the bug :)

As you are working on filewatch I had a question about KInotify http://api.kde.org/4.5-api/kdebase-runtime-apidocs/nepomuk/html/classKInotify.html
Would it be possible to implement rm_watch http://linux.die.net/man/7/inotify ? That would be great.
Thanks
There already is removeWatch. Since Nepomuk does not need more than that I doubt that I will implement any more API. There is more pressing matters for me. :P
ok, thanks for your reply
FINALLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
+1 Sebastian! Excellent work and I’m going to keep a very close watch on this new release.
Amazing. Thank you!
