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

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

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.
