Description

Browser Panel became too slow (it takes too long to answer, freezing Qgis for some seconds) after update from Qgis 3.3 to Qgis 3.4.1

To Verify just open the Browser Panel widget or navigate to any folder using the Browser Panel.

The same happens with a clean profile and with the Browser Panel 2 too.

[browser] Avoid always opening every file using gdal to test for
update capabilities

This is no longer required - it was previously done in order to
detect if the item should expose the SetCrs capability, but
that's deprecated and unused.

Fixes #16807, fixes #20411, and avoids QGIS opening every file encountered in
the browser even when the Data Source setting is set to the
default (fast) "Check Extension" setting only.

Is this slowness when you are opening folders in the directory tree? Or when opening e.g. database connections or WMS connections? A short screen recording could help us to understand your problem and the delay you are getting. Whenever browser item is getting populated with layers this should be happening in the background, not freezing the user interface.

It is slow even to open the Browser Panel widget and remains very slow on any interaction; open folders tree, database or wms connections ( I tested with this all).
It is slow to drag the panel either or on any interaction.

Sorry I do not have a Video recorded software installed here for now. If you want I can try it later.

I had to record the video in low resolution because of the file size limit here. Observe the time that I click (the cursor blinks) until Qgis answer it.
I hope you can undestand the video, It's my first screen record.

I solved by enable the "Fast Scan this directory" option on each directory!
So, maybe it could be the enabled by default!
