SUMMARY: Dolphin freezes/hangs for minutes "all the time" on removeable ntfs disk. No such problem with either Nautilus nor with Krusader. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. mount a NTFS removeable hard drive 2. Access some folders on that hard drive OBSERVED RESULT 3. It will freeze/hang for long periods of time. Very frustrating. 4. Tried to access the same drive with Krusader and with Nautilus. Neither apps have this hanging/freezing problem. 5. There is no "unmounted" nor "disconnected" network drive with a "broken" connection. EXPECTED RESULT It should not hang or freeze for minutes. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04/ KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I do have a NTFS hard drive with Kubuntu 22.10 (but used 22.04 prior) and have/had no issues with freezing. Not sure if the drive being removable or not makes a difference.
