Comment 2 Fushan Wen 2021-10-08 08:38:38 UTC 
What's worse, if I disconnect from the network, plasmashell will likely hang forever until "Filesystem mounted at '...' is not responding" error message pops up.

taskmanager: Use SkipMimeTypeFromContent flag when creating KFileItem

This prevents plasmashell from freezing at opening the context menu
when there is no network and there are files on a network mount in
"Recent Files" section.
