Now if Dolphin could stop getting its knickers in a twist over whether a file system is available or not, that would be nice and modern.
For example, I use pam_mount to mount a few Windows shares on login. A desktop is pretty stable and this is fine. A laptop that wanders around and has a VPN that comes and goes etc is a different beast. Dolphin freezes when mounts are unavailable.
I'm hoping to use SMB over QUIC and a Kerb proxy to make Windows shares more immediately available but it would be nice if Dolphin treated mounts with a modern approach. Times have changed.
