Bug ID: 498193
Summary: Allow user to specify the default location to open in
a new tab
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.12.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bnerickso...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
As a user, I would like to open all new tabs with a default starting location
such as `/home/${USER}`. At present, new tabs are opened using the current
tab's location. This may be undesirable in situations where the current tab is
a remote location (say a SMB share) over a high latency connection. In such a
scenario, the user may be faced with an excessive wait time as the remote
directory is loaded even if the user only intended to open or work with a local
directory in the new tab. Therefore, it would be optimal to add an option to
the "Dolphin Settings -> Interface -> Folders & Tabs" section such as the
following:
```
Open new tabs default location:
* <user_configurable_directory>
* [Default Behavior] Location of the current open tab
```
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At first glance this looks like a duplicate of
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424988 , but the referenced commit appears
to be setting the location of the new tab itself within the dolphin interface
as opposed to allowing the user to set the default URL/location that the new
tab opens, so it is unrelated.
