Description Janet 2010-05-07 15:44:58 UTC

Version:           1.4 (using 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.33-3.slh.5-sidux-686

A little inconsistency in behaviour: The button "New Window" opens a new dolphin window with the home folder's address. And the button "New Tab" opens a new tab with the address of the current folder. Both should behave the same way, preferably duplicating the current folder (as it is possible to open a new tab with the home address by middle click onto the home button in the places sidebar).

If this is intended behaviour there should be a context menu entry when inside a folder to open this folder in a new window as it is when you click on a folder. 

So this is a two part wish ;) - for a consistent behaviour of the "New Tab" and "New Window" button (but not at the cost of losing the duplicate tab feature) and for having the option to duplicate the current folder to a new window too.
