Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2018-08-04 19:11:21 UTC 
Gwenview locks up for 30 seconds to several minutes when accessing a CIFS/SMB mounted network share, even if there's just a couple dozen images in it.

Sorting by name. Dolphin can read and generate previews from the share fairly fast, and I'm also able to read with >40MB/s.

More info: using Gwenview in Browse mode, generating thumbnails for a folder with 72 images (roughly 3.5 MB each) in it, takes about 20 minutes. Monitoring the SMB server, there's barely any network activity during that time.

Hi,
I can confirm this really annoying bug, using Gwenview 19.08.0 on KDE neon 5.16 (all updates installed).
Thanks in advance and for your awesome work guys; KDE is still the best :)

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
