Of course, working with folders with 215k files is crazy -- but this is not a bug in Krita, since the file dialog is provided by Qt or your desktop environment. Check whether enabling or disabling native file dialogs makes a difference; check whether changing to a different desktop environment makes a difference. Oh, and update to a recent version of Krita 4.0.1 is ancient history.
