TDE has that capability installed and for good reason.  This has nothing to do with "M$" (Microsoft). *I'm requesting this bug be researched and fixed.*  There are times when the system needs custom configuration and a root file manager is the way to do that, especially when you want to be able to set up your system so it can be restored from scratch without having to depend at all on the internet.

Alec Destry composed on 2025-03-06 23:37 (UTC-0800): Suggested possible workaround until fixed → do as I do: I rarely use a GUI file manager. On rare occasions I will use Konq as file manager, but normally the only file manager I have more than one of open at a time is Midnight Commander, which I normally open from a Konsole menu in a new tab, not from the Kicker menu.

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. E.
