STEPS TO REPRODUCE Simply open dolphin. OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin opens up after almost 5-6 seconds. Also after 4-5 seconds only window decorations show up and transparent dolphin background. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should open immediately.
same here, start is significantly delayed Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.3-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2
I have had the same experience. Let me explain the situation at that time. The file "~/.local/share/user-places.xbel" was bloated with a lot of docker bookmarks that did not appear in Places. Removing them improved the startup time. Now I can't figure out how to reproduce it. FYI...
I have the same issue (file open dialog took 9-10 seconds to show up). After finding this bug report, deleting user-places.xbel resolved the problem for me. The original file had over 21,000 lines, the newly generated has only 198 lines. The original file was over and over full with entries from kdeconnect (i have only one paired device but there were hundreds of entries) and hundreds entries about docker layers. This bug seems to be related to: Bug 422306 Dolphin and KDE file dialogs open very slowly Bug 466416 KDE Connect keeps adding devices to Dolphin over and over and over and over and over Bug 398908 Dolphin uses up huge amounts of memory over time
I can confirm the issue here on Gentoo. The issue here again was kdeconnect. However, I think that frameworks should somehow deal with the situation of outdated (In reply to Henrik Gebauer from comment #3) > I have the same issue (file open dialog took 9-10 seconds to show up).

..... outdated entries.

Same issue here. Ca. 10 seconds delay for the file dialog. After deleting the <bookmark href="kdeconnect ...> ... </bookmark> entries in user-places.xbel it opens fast, again. There were 1787 kdeconnect related entries there out of a total of 1821.

Are users affected by this issue still affected with Dolphin 24.04 or later (i.e KF6) ? The big files in `user-places.xbel` were mostly due to a bug in kdeconnect that has been fixed for some time. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461872
