Attempting to add a file to an entry causes KeePassXC to become unresponsive.

[akwala]

Overview

KeePassXC becomes unresponsive indefinitely when attempting to add a file to an entry,

Steps to Reproduce

1. Right-click an entry and select 'Edit entry...'.
2. Go to the 'Advanced' tab.
3. In 'Attachments' section, click the 'Add' button.
4. A file manager window (Dolphin) appears.
5. Try changing the folder in the file manager.

Expected Behavior

Be able to

• navigate, in the file manager window, to the location of the file to be added;
• select the file and add it to the entry in KeePassXC.

Actual Behavior

The file manager window freezes and is unresponsive for an indefinite amount of time. Attempting to close the window causes a dialog window to appear, saying that KeePassXC is unresponsive and asking whether it should be terminated.

We don't control the file manager window, that is actually a system window (ie, there is no code on our end). You have something going on external to keepassxc.

You'll have to run the program through gdb and provide a stack trace to determine what's going on.

Since this does not occur from within KeePassXC code going to close this one unless you can provide a stack trace showing otherwise. I do recommend updating your system if possible or switching to the Flatpak distribution.

I'm seeing the same thing on Windows 10. KeepassXC goes unresponsive and crashes as soon as the file picker opens.

Since this is Windows, I'm hesitant to think it's "something going on external". Additionally, opening files in every other program I've tried so far works fine.

File picker is windows code. If it crashes when it's shown that is either windows or qt. If it crashes after a file is chosen then maybe it could be us.
