Description Harald Sitter 2020-06-25 11:09:33 UTC 
When disk IO is slow FileFetchJob can block dolphin's GUI entirely because it does a blocking waitForFinished call. At a glance that's unnecessary given the job has an async api and could use qprocess by attaching to signals.

Is this still the case... ?

... I probably would not recognise a fix if it appeared in invent.kde.org
