Hi, thanks for the reply - I actually did indeed reference a few other places
(i.e. StackOverflow, Reddit), & it was suggested that the behaviors I was
seeing were due to kio-fuse & that they had been fixed in 20.04.  The specific
issue is that although I can browse smb, the vast majority of programs fail to
be able to work with them. i.e. opening a file from smb in VLC fails; opening a
photo in XnViewMP works but then cannot scroll to any others; opening a PDF in
MasterPDF has to copy the entire file over the network before it can view, and
so on and so forth.  Since all of these do work properly in other file managers
(i.e. none of these issues exist in Nemo, Nautilus, Caja, etc), it was
indicated that the problem is unique to Dolphin, and after some more searching,
I was led here.  And I believe that the behavior has been fixed, & thus things
should now work properly in Dolphin as well.  If I can figure out a way to get
20.04 installed ;)

Just a follow-up, I don't think Flatpak works - I was able to install Dolphin
20.04 that way, but in that case, I couldn't access smb at all.  Presumably
because of its packaging / it doesn't interact with the other necessary parts
of the system to take advantage of this fix.
