Description laurent 2016-05-05 06:35:41 UTC 
When a big file (video for instance) is sent via the file action menu, plasma freeze if you click on the kdeconnect tray icon or try to send another file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a big file to a device via the dolphin context menu
2. Click on kdeconnect tray icon

Actual Results:  
- All plasmoids freezes until transfer is complete
- The context menu no more appears in dolphin until transfer is complete

Expected Results:  
- Having plasmoids, including kdeconnect tray, continue to run smoothly
- being able to show the context menu in dolphin and send other files

Problem present in Kubuntu 16.04 packages

Cannot Replicate.  How bog was the video?
Comment 2 laurent 2016-09-06 21:08:18 UTC 
Just reproduced it with a 440 Mb video sent to a Moto G. Transfer rate was around 6 Mb/s according to phone. The freeze comes when left clicking on the kdeconnect tray icon once the transfer is started.
kdeconnect version : 0.9+git20160315-0ubuntu1
plasma version: 5.23.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04~ppa1

This was recently fixed. Make sure to use latest kio and kdeconnect-kde.
