I noticed that starting in 4.9 dolphin changes its current viewed directory when opening a console and changing the CWD there. While this is a nice feature in theory, there are some programs that change the CWD while running (and chang it back after they finish) which annoys me kind of. Some popular ones are e.g. rsync and git random idea: maybe it's possible to wait till the program exitst and refresh the view then. That way "cd" and such would still change it, but those 2 programs mentioned wouldn't Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open dolphin in a git repo's subfolder 2. hit F4 + git log 3. notice how view changes to git root dir
Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm the bug, but I'm afraid it's probably very difficult to fix. We can't do anything on the Dolphin side. I'm not sure either if there's an easy way to do something about it in Konsole. AFAIK, the Konsole part checks periodically what the current directory is and sends a signal when it has changed. I don't know if Konsole could do it only when there is no process like git running, i.e., only if the shell prompt is shown and waiting for user input?

This actually breaks pretty much everything, from simple commands as "git status" (which changes the current directory) to some special case scenarios like the bug I reported here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339009 This should either be labeled as *Critical* and fixed ASAP or disabled altogether with Konsole's integration and enabled once it has been fixed.

Git commit f83fd33900e05875cb24951b475b67f10c873e23 by Kurt Hindenburg. Committed on 01/11/2014 at 04:17. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'KDE/4.14'. Signal currentDirectoryChanged only check session's background process. Do not check foreground process to determine if current directory has changed. Fixes nasty bugs such as 'man ls' changes to man folder.
