Description Claudius Ellsel 2020-12-06 16:13:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
As described in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426354#c4. Basically while the folder still loads the message that the folder is empty is displayed until the content is loaded. This seems to be especially prominent for network drives with longer loading times.

Creating this bug so it has its own place to be tracked and followed.

Any update?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-12-30 17:41:05 UTC 
No, but I'll get it done before it's released in 21.04. :)

[DolphinView] Fix "Folder is empty" label showing prematurely

Don't show the label while still loading. Since there is no property in
`KDirLister` a dedicated `m_loading` is added for this purpose.

Also, I removed the explicit update on `urlChanged` as the view
probably won't change until the lister starts loading.
