Description doppeltgemoppelt 2009-01-05 14:58:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I use shortcuts in my home folder to browse quickly to regularly used locations. 
In konqueror under kde3 the location was opened in a new tab (did i configure it that way? i don't remember). in dolphin a new window is opened. i don't see a way for configuring it like it suits me. 

thanks for this great program

Still valid? I'm using KDE 4.2.2 and when I click on a shortcut (we are talking about symlinks don't we?) the location opens in the same dolphin window and when I middleclick it opens in a new tab. Only when I create a URL file for the location it opens in a new window. So you can easily control the behaviour IMHO.

There are two possibilities, either the bug has been solved long ago (symlinks have the same opening treatment as regular folders) ; either he was talking about opening the targeted place of the link with the context menu (which is actually opened in a new window instead of a new tab) and for that there is Bug 406775 to get that option.
