Created attachment 67247 [details] Screenshot showing the problem. Version: 1.99 (using Devel) OS: Linux Enable split view mode by default. Then start dolphin with a parameter (directory) from the command line. The directory is shown on the right, but there are no files visible. The breadcrumb shows the correct folder and I can even see miniatures of the image files in the info panel, but the right hand side of the split view is empty. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable split view mode by default in the settings. 2. Close Dolphin. 3. Start Dolphin from the command line with a directory as first parameter, e.g. "dolphin /data/wallpapers". Actual Results: Right view container is empty. Expected Results: Right view container should show the files in "/data/wallpapers".
I can confirm this behaviour with the version from the Archlinux kde-unstable repository, updated yesterday. Dolphin version 1.99 KDE 4.7.95 (4.8 RC1 (4.7.95) This also happens if you don't close and reopen the spit view but instead go to the same directory as on the left side (either by directly typing in the location bar or via the favourites toolbar), then back (via back-button), winding up in the directory that was not displayed before, only now the contents are shown. If you now click on a "new" (sub-)directory in the split window, the contents are again not shown, but going back once and clicking on the same directory again, the content suddenly appears normally. This is reproducible always, recursively and with every "unvisited" folder. The same actions in the left half of the window work exactly as expected.

Fix issue that an empty directory is shown in the split mode Root-cause was that the signal KDirLister::completed(KUrl) must be watched by the model and not KDirLister::completed().
