Bug ID: 446322
Summary: Dolphin resets to default location and layout and
"forgets" location in directory tree, split windows
and open panels after restart on plugin change
Product: dolphin
Version: 21.11.90
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: paul.br...@kde.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you change a plugin that needs a restart (e.g.: enabling/disabling Dropbox
or Git) in Dolphin, if you pick "Restart" from the dialogue, Dolphin will
restart _and_ reset to its default settings, "forgetting" any tabs, splits or
panels you had open and defaulting back to showing the user's home directory,
instead of the one the user may have had open at the moment of the restart.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the terminal panel, split the screen, navigate to a directory that
isn't home, etc.
2. Open _Configure Dolphin_ > _Context Menu_.
3. Enable or disable a plugin that requires restart when applied (for example,
Git support) and click "Apply"
4. From the dialogue that appears, click "Restart"
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin resets to default location and layout.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should retain layout, tabs and location prior to the restart.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.11.0-41-generic (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Workaround: When the dialogue pops up asking if you want to restart Dolphin now
or "Later", choose later. Then stop Dolphin the regular way (say, clicking on
the close button or selecting _File_ > _Quit_) and start it up again. Prior
settings will be retained.
