--- Comment #37 from Steve Vialle <[email protected]> --- > KDE doesn't realize that the folder is actually remote Checking /etc/mtab or /proc/mounts for known network filesystems would be the obvious answer, why KDE apparently doesn't is truly baffling to me. The issue at hand isn't network shares being slow or inaccessible, or whether or not KDE "knows" what is "remote" (the latter wouldn't help for other "slow" devices like spun-down disks anyway)... The issue is that dolphins UI (including windows which are not directly involved with the "slow" filesystem) completely freeze waiting for non-critical I/O operations, and so do seemingly unrelated parts of plasmashell. Blaming "unsupported" "manual" mounts, implying the user is at fault for doing things the way they have been done for 30-odd years, and instructing people to use KIO URIs instead (KIO is also miserably slow, but that's another matter) does nothing to address the underlying problem - get the blocking I/O calls out of the UI update thread, and implement sensible timeouts. This is not an insolvable problem, the majority of other desktop environments do not suffer from it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
