Currently, SMB4K with WS-Discovery enabled correctly finds Windows hosts on the network. However, when a discovered host is clicked in the “Network Neighborhood” browser no shares are displayed. BTW, I think this pane would be better described as "Discovered hosts/shares", as the former description is only applicable to SMB1/NetBIOS samba environments (long since deprecated).
By contrast, Dolphin (using KIO/WS-Discovery) is able to enumerate and show available shares on the same host without issue. It should be possible for Smb4K to query the server in the same way (assuming the credentials are provided.)
Without share enumeration, users must manually add shares or create bookmarks in SMB4K, while Dolphin provides a smoother experience.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Thank you for sharing this. I will have a look and fix it.
