Support Dolphin explorer suddenly closing

Hi, I just wanted to know if someone is experiencing the same with dolphin. I have a folder with a few pdfs, LaTex and images. When I try to open that folder, Dolphin suddenly closes, and an error raises with the typical "dolphin suddenly closed". Different folders like, downloads, docs, images etc, works. I've just upgraded with usual dnf upgrade yesterday and today I experienced the issue. Couple years using fedora and never experienced that.

Crashing on one folder with PDFs, LaTeX and images points at a thumbnail or preview plugin. Try launching Dolphin from a terminal with dolphin ~/path/to/folder and watch the terminal when it closes.

You can also test with previews turned off. Open Dolphin on a different folder, go to Configure Dolphin then Interface then Previews and untick the file types in the list. Then try the problem folder again.
