SUMMARY
Dolphin crashes when using backslashes in SMB URLs (smb:\\) instead of proper
forward slashes (smb://).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open Dolphin.

In the address bar, type: smb:\\192.168.42.100

Press Enter.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin immediately crashes. When launched from a terminal, it shows:

arduino
Kopieren
Bearbeiten
org.kde.dolphin: could not find entry for charset= "Andere Kodierung ()"
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should handle invalid SMB URL formats more gracefully.
It could either auto-correct \\ to //, or display a friendly error message
instead of crashing.
This issue affects users familiar with Windows-style UNC paths.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Nobara Linux 42 (Fedora-based)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.5-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
Memory: 62.7 GiB RAM

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The correct URL smb://192.168.42.100 works without issues.

The crash is reproducible every time smb:\\ is entered.

This is a minor parsing mistake with major usability consequences.

Improving input sanitation could prevent frustration, especially for users
transitioning from Windows.
