this is a file browser or KDE issues, as file system operations shouldn’t happen on the UI thread. if it weren’t happening on the UI thread then it would keep working.

NoXPhasma@lemmy.world 6 hours agoThat is definitely an annoyance. But the cause is not your file browser. The webdav has been mounted to the system and when an application tries to use it, it runs into a timeout. You can’t even unmount it, since that requires the system to talk to the network drive.
This is also not limited to webdav, it happens with all kinds of network drives. This is something that needs to be addressed at the core level of Linux. But I have no expertise, so no real clue where exactly.

The same behavior happens for me in a different file browser (Nemo) and a different Desktop (Cinnamon). So I’m pretty confident, it is no isolated KDE issue.

Even windows does that if the network drive is unavailable, it’ll spend about 30 seconds trying to reach it before giving up. And if you accidentally try to query that network location again you get to wait another 30 seconds before you can do anything related to files
