DolphinView::statusBarText calls DolphinView::calculateItemCount calls KJob::exec which blocks the gui thread for potentially long amounts of time if the disk is at IO capacity and/or generally has latency (mounted network shares). this needs to be made async. as a stopgap supposedly statusBarText could return a fixed string if item.isSlow() #5 0x00007fc374eeaf0e in KJob::exec() () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5CoreAddons.so.5 #6 0x00007fc375e98fcf in DolphinView::calculateItemCount (this=this@entry=0x5570c4032bd0, fileCount=@0x7ffd2191d264: 0, folderCount=@0x7ffd2191d260: 0, totalFileSize=@0x7ffd2191d280: 0) at ./src/views/dolphinview.cpp:1531
