"...Try ripping your DVD to an iso file on your hard disc and mounting the iso as a loopback, and see if the problem persists when you're no longer dealing with slow media..."

So far, the problem hasn't appeared, even with 7 root file manager windows open, but I get the impression the problem isn't the slow media but with Open SUSE 15.6 mounting the DVD somehow causing a broken connection between the currently open root file manager windows and TDE Launcher, for 2 reasons: accessing files through the loopback mount is just as slow as accessing the DVD; and, with the error present, closing all open root file manager windows and then again restarting a new root file manager session gets rid of the error.

"...as the project only has so much manpower..." and "...You're free to research the problem and offer a fix..."

I've been known to code.  The concern I have is the source code base is very large and complex, the comments there are very sparse and cryptic, and whatever I would add has to work with what's already there.  Possibly, you could give me a primer on how to get started and which source code I should look at?

About a week ago, I reported this bug in TDE 14.1.3 at

far, nothing has happened.  Is that where bugs should be reported?

That is where bugs should be reported, yes.  It doesn't guarantee that
bugs the team considers low-priority will be attacked with any urgency, 
as the project only has so much manpower.

I can't recall ever running into the bug described in your report even 
when manipulating a directory that has nearly double the files on your 
DVD.  Of course, it's possible that I've just never attempted enough 
operations in sequence to trigger it.  That being said, it looks to me like 
there are two differences between what you're doing and what I'm doing.

The first is that I don't invoke Konqueror from the menu when I'm doing
this, I invoke it from the command line in an su'd konsole session.  This
is unlikely to be the issue.

More likely the problem is that you're trying to work directly from an
optical disc (very slow by modern standards), while the directory I'm 
dealing with is on a hard drive.  Try ripping your DVD to an iso file on 
your hard disc and mounting the iso as a loopback, and see if the 
problem persists when you're no longer dealing with slow media.
