Bug ID: 469271
Summary: Double click on folder from desktop opens not only
that folder but also random unrelated ones
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: php4...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Close all Dolphin windows
2. Open a new dolphin window, and in it, several tabs where you open several
folders, let's say they are folders X, Y and Z
3. Create two folders in your Desktop: call them A and B
4. Double click on folder A in the desktop.
=> this opens a new Dolphin window with a single tab (or no tabs depending on
how you call it) with folder A (so now you have two Dolphin windows open, one
with several tabs showing folders X, Y, Z, and one with only one tab showing
folder A)
5. Close the Dolphin window that is showing folder A
6. From the desktop, double-click on folder B
EXPECTED RESULT
This should open a new Dolphin window, with only one tab (or no tabs depending
on how you want to call it) showing the contents of folder B
OBSERVED RESULT
The new folder window has two tabs, with folders A and B. Dolphin remembers the
folders that you have opened as tabs in the last Dolphin window that you
closed, and reopens all of them in addition to the new one you double-clicked.
You can now repeat, by closing this new window, and double-clicking on a third
folder C from the desktop, and the newly opened window will have three tabs
with folders A, B and C.
And this will happen even if in the meantime you have deleted some of the
folders. You'll have a Dolphin window with tabs for folders that no longer
exist!!
This is a regression that appeared relatively recently, like a few months ago
or so. I was too lazy to report it until now, but I hit it every single day
every few minutes and it's tremendously annoying and confusing. It kills
productivity and makes my life miserable.
I haven't found any workaround to avoid this. Every time I close the window
opened from the desktop, I previously make sure to close every single tab in
it, so that at least it doesn't accumulate an infinitely growing number of
tabs. But this doesn't prevent me from always systematically having two tabs
instead of one every time (and having to close them one by one so I don't get
three next time).
