If per-directory view modes are enabled, Dolphin therefore tries to save a .directory file upon change, but fails and freezes. This seems to be the relevant part of code: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/blob/master/src/views/viewproperties.cpp#L78 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a TrueNAS instance or presumably any remote server where a directory is not writable (i.e., one cannot create a file in this very directory) 2. sshfs serveraddress:/mnt/mypool /path/to/mountpoint 3. Open /path/to/mountpoint in Dolphin 4. Change the view mode OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin freezes EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin silently handles the error (and saves the config elsewhere). Ideally, it also detects that the directory is not actually writable and hides menu options accordingly, although I am not sure who is to blame in this case.

I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet. There have been many fixes and improvements since this was reported, and this issue may have been fixed. Can you please re-test on your system with Dolphin 25.04.1 or later and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? If you can, please set this report back to REPORTED. Thanks! 2433388 3 nate 2025-06-16 13:43:56 +0000 Unfortunately I don't think there's any reason to expect that this has gotten better on its own; returning to REPORTED status.
