Description Eric Adams 2019-09-24 19:09:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
Gwenview will not open an image (local disk) when cifs network mounts are disconnected. I assume it is doing a directory scan of some kind for whatever reason and hangs while trying to access the share.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Either manually mount or add a mount option to fstab to a network share using cifs.
2. Disconnect the network or use a different network where the share is not accessible
3. Open any image on your local disk or other accessible location.

OBSERVED RESULT
The main Gwenview window appears but nothing is shown and eventually Plasma asks if you'd like to close or wait.

EXPECTED RESULT
Gwenview doesn't care if a network location is inaccessible and is able to open images regardless.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Eric Adams 2019-09-24 19:12:01 UTC 
I forgot to add that the workaround for this is to simply unmount the network share if you are on a different network. Gwenview is fine after that. Obviously not a high severity issue but thought it was worth reporting all the same.
