Bug ID: 498302
Summary: Dolphin doesn't respect the "single window" setting
when launched with no arguments
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.12.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 6ot3tj...@mozmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have the OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab setting ("Keep a single Dolphin
window, opening new folders in tabs") enabled in Dolphin, but despite this,
using my Meta+E keyboard shortcut to launch Dolphin will always create a new
window. In previous versions, it would either open $HOME in a new tab, or focus
an existing tab that's already in that directory. If I instead launch Dolphin
using a path as an argument (e.g. `dolphin ~`), then it behaves the way I would
expect it to without the argument.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Verify that OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab=true in ~/.config/dolphinrc
2. Run the command `dolphin` without providing any arguments
OBSERVED RESULT
Launching Dolphin without arguments always creates a new window.
EXPECTED RESULT
If the setting is enabled, launching Dolphin without arguments should open a
new tab for whichever startup location is configured (or focus an existing tab
if a relevant one exists), and only open a new window if no windows currently
exist.
