File dialogs are unbearably slow

Hi there. I’m running the Krita AppImage version 5.2.9 on EndeavourOS. I’m also using Plasma 6.

I’ve been having an issue as of late where any time I open a file dialog in Krita (and Krita only), it will run very, very slow, as in taking several minutes to load any screen. If I go to save as or open a file, the dialog will hang unrendered for minutes before finally showing the file list, and then pressing anything will still take several minutes for anything to happen. To be clear, they do work, I’ve managed to save properly, it just takes ages.

This only happens with Krita, regardless of whether I’m on X11 or Wayland. No notable output in the terminal when it happens. I thought it might be something with Krita not being able to do filesystem operations for whatever reason, but I have no trouble if I just save an already opened document with Ctrl-S or open a recent project. Other subwindows in Krita also work just fine. It really is only when I open a file dialog that this happens, and it slows my usage to a crawl.

Is this an issue anyone else has experienced? Any idea of how to fix it?
