Description BOF 2025-12-10 15:01:54 UTC

SUMMARY
When I click on "Images" (section 'Search for', de original name "Suche nach") the adress "search:/images" is called. When I click on the "Images" link, I get an automatic crash handler that tells me "kioworker" has crashed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Click on "Images" link in 'Search for' section in the side bar on the left

OBSERVED RESULT
I get a crash note and no images are displayed.

EXPECTED RESULT
I get _no_ crash result and the images are displayed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Dolphin:
Version 25.08.3

System:
Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-36-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On my system I get this crash every time. I get the same result with "search:/documents". However "search:/audio" and "search:/videos" (both the same link-type protocol in the side panel) do work.

I tried to replicate this, in a Live USB from the latest KDEneon, but over there a folder with the destination of "search:/images" never shows up when added (right click in side panel > add entry). When I edit the location of an existing folder (eg. Downloads) to "search:/images" the folder vanishes.
Even when I activate the option to show hidden entries, I do not see this entry. First I thought that this might be KFind adding this, but even after I added it, I was not able to replicate this on a Live USB (maybe I would have needed to restart my system, but as it's a Live USB all changes would have been gone).

Dolphin - bug 513177 - kioworker crash

What you see:
* part on the right: The left side bar on Dolphin
* part on the left: empty space where the crash window appears

Steps:
1) Click on "Audio": On the right edge of the video you see grey stripes indicating that files where found. (link address: search:/audio)
2) Click on "Video": On the right edge you again see grey stripes so this videos work as well (link address: search:/videos)
3) Click on "Images": Crash window appears (link address: search:/images)
4) Click on "Dokumente" (documents): Crash window appears (link address: search:/documents)
