            Bug ID: 471044
           Summary: Dolphin hangs when opening home directory with symlink
                    to remote folder that is currently unavailable

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. There is an existing symlink in home directory to a network file share via
Autofs that is not mounted at the time Dolphin opens (e.g. ~/Music links to
/mnt/server/Music where a remote NTFS server is normally mounted at
/mnt/server, but not currently available). 

OBSERVED RESULT

Dolphin hangs when opening with the Home directory.

EXPECTED RESULT

Dolphin should elegantly ignore symlinks to remote folders which are not
available.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Removing the symlinks from home directory prevents the problem from arising.
