I have Kubuntu 24.04(.1) installed on my machine. Sometimes when I am browsing my files it just freezes and stops responding. I click into a directory and it happens. I close it and reopen and, go to the directory and it happens again. It sometimes changes the directories it happens to, when it happens to my Documents or Downloads it is really annoying. Most directories are fine though. This has happened on multiple devices too
Do you have any NFS or SMB/CIFS mounts?
Is this happening only with secondary drives? I had this and I finally replaced that drive and I haven’t seen the issue since.

I have 3 drives. Only the main is mounted and it is ext4
No other drives are mounted when it happens. And it happens on the main drive the OS is on
Do you use kdeconnect ?
How big is the file ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel ?
I believe it might be fixed in latest version.
I do use KDE Connect. That file is 8.2kb currently
Do the folder concerned have big files in them ?
Does turning off thumbnails change something ?
There are no large files. Disabling previews does not solve it. Earlier I created a folder. I went into it and added a Minecraft server. I ran it, it generated the files and I went back to Dolphin which was already in the directory and it then crashed. None of these are large files
I did have this problem on one laptop with my NTFS partitions shared with Windows10, the problem was resolved after switching to ntfs3 driver with kernel 6.9 and adding rw,umask=000 to mount options in /etc/fstab.
I will have a look into that tomorrow, thanks
