It’s 2024 and Windows Explorer crashes about once a day when copying files over the local network; so thoroughly that I need to restart.

richh@mastodon.cloud's status on Saturday, 29-Jun-2024 23:57:59 JST richh @thomasfuchs Mac Finder does the same. Hangs dreadfully if the share is slow or it needs to index. Surprising lack of concurrency to lock the entire app instead of putting a spinner in the window but keeping the UI interactive so you can click back out to a local folder or the parent you were in. I’d have thought that would have been std in modern OS file browsers, but they seem to assume you have sub-ms latency off NVMe and don’t behave gracefully when you don’t.
