Bug ID: 498981
Summary: Don't open a new tab for "Open as Administrator" or
close it after use
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.12.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Even though it's rare that I have to open folders within root directories, it
still happens. Managing root folders in Dolphin is annoying, because by default
it can't do anything in there, and you have to "Open as Administrator" the
issue is that it creates a new tab for this for no reason and doesn't close the
old one or the new one after admin permissions run out, creating a lot of
clutter and confusing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to / or any folder that is not in /home
2. Do "Open as Administrator"
OBSERVED RESULT
Every time it opens a new tab that will continue existing even when it no
longer has root access
EXPECTED RESULT
The new tab should be closed after it loses admin permissions, or it should
just replace the old tab to avoid confusion and clutter
