SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a Gimp project in Kubuntu 22,04 2. Open one or more Dolphin windows 3. Start a file save operation in Gimp OBSERVED RESULT At the beginning of the save, kioslave5 pops up as a new process and rapidly takes over nearly all of the available RAM in the system, approximately 30 GB on a system with 32 GB. The result is the save takes about 10 times longer than normal. If all Dolphin windows are closed, the save proceeds and completes in the normal amount of time EXPECTED RESULT Same result as in previous releases of Kubuntu where there has been no such issue observed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04/KDE 5.24.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Also observed in debian bookworm
From terminal enabled kio debug output, and start dolphin: export QT_LOGGING_RULES="*kio*=true" dolphin then save in gimp, and attach the terminal output here, hopefully it'll give a clue what's going on.

The issue is most apparent when Dolphin is monitoring the folder in which the file is being saved into. Otherwise, the operation is unremarkable. This can be seen occurring in real time. With the Dolphin window showing any other folder, the multiple running instances of kioslave5 are totalling well under 1 Gb of memory. As soon as the folder in which the file is being saved into is entered from the Dolphin window, there is an immediate appearance of an instance of kioslave5 with the behaviour described above.

Comment on attachment 151699 [details] Partial output in terminal Also seeing this issue on a different computer that has a Dolphin window open that was browsing to the same file path through a NFS share, kioslave5 on this computer behaving in the same way during save even though the save operation is not occurring there.
