I don’t know if I’m the only one who has this issue but right clicking on a folder or file or clicking the context menu key on my keyboard can sometimes/often freeze my Dolphin on CachyOS. This seems random and whenever it happens, it will always happen on that same file or in the same folder and the only workaround as far as I know is to reboot my laptop.
Service menu/context menu actions are a double edge sword.
This happened to me yesterday, dolphin froze for about 30 seconds (guess) each time I right clicked into a folder. Stopped happening after closing and reopening dolphin, though.
Thanks for this thread to help kick-start troubleshooting in the right direction.
In my case this issue came up when KDE 6.7 released and I upgraded to it. I was able to track it down to the “Send file via KDE Connect” Context Menu option. Disabling that resolves the issue.
Oddly if I wanted to reproduce it again I had to not only re-enable the Send Via KDEConnect option, but also restart my machine for the issue to recur.
I also have this issue since I have updated recently. The only way to fix it is to reboot and even then it quickly resurfaces again. Also since we’re talking about it, KDE Connect is now completely unusable on my computer. Dunno if the two issues are related, seems like a coincidence to me.
Edit: disabling some of the context menu items seems to have mitigated the issue for me.
