Description

Hi,

I have been experiencing this issue on 3.4.3 and 3.4.2 on Mac Mojave. When I open the application my mac will freeze for about 20 seconds. The same also occurs when attempting to navigate system files to save or open layers or projects etc.

Try with a new/clean profile.

I have the same problems. QGIS 3.4.3 freeze when I try to open the 'Open Data Source manager'. I have an existing project open and want to add a new layer.
As suggested I have tried to open from another user profile and gets the same result.

In the beginning it was just a long period of waiting - now it freeze totally.

.... Now I have booted my computer - and some windows updates automaticly installes. Back to normal. Sorry for 'noise'
I use Windows 7
Regards

I completely cleared QGIS and all dependancies, still happens

I'm having the same problem on 2 different Mac machines (both running Mojave). It started with 3.4.2 and its still there on 3.4.3. My whole system freezes when using the" file picker" window. I can move my mouse around, but I cannot interact with any thing during the freeze.

I tried completely uninstalling QGIS (and python, GDAL) and reinstalling, but I still get the freezing.

Probably duplicate of #20381.

Yes, it's the same issue. I read the subject as meaning the freeze was only during launch, but from the discussion it is clearly the same issue.
