For what it’s worth, my KDE file browser would freeze up when I had a WebDav network drive to a server that went offline, not exactly elegant either, just opening my home folder and randomly after a second or two ….. all software can bug in bad ways.

That is definitely an annoyance. But the cause is not your file browser or KDE. The webdav has been mounted to the system and when an application tries to use it, it runs into a timeout. You can't even unmount it, since that requires the system to talk to the network drive.

This is also not limited to webdav, it happens with all kinds of network drives. This is something that needs to be addressed at the core level of Linux. But I have no expertise, so no real clue where exactly.

this is a file browser or KDE issues, as file system operations shouldn't happen on the UI thread. if it weren't happening on the UI thread then it would keep working.

[–] NoXPhasma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The same behavior happens for me in a different file browser (Nemo) and a different Desktop (Cinnamon). So I'm pretty confident, it is no isolated KDE issue.

not an isolated one, but an issue in all of these you mentioned too. this is a common design mistake devs make if they don't use the network share functions or slow storage, because they don't notice there is a problem and how severe it is
