Description TonyP 2016-02-21 18:46:05 UTC 
ver = 0.9git 20160214...(and more numbers)

1. Click on icon in taskbar, get KDE Connect 'notification' pane with device statuses.
2. Click on file browser icon
3. Get 'open with' dialog: select dolphin.
4. Get Dolphin instance and another 'open with' dialog :select dolphin.
5. GOTO 4.....
Do something else, then try again.
6. Repeat above, but, on 3, absent-mindedly check 'remember application association...' checkbox.
7. Frantically attempt to close dolphin instances faster than they propagate.
8. Seek treatment for RSI of mouse button finger.

File browsing works OK for me from a normally opened Dolphin instance when I click on one of the Kdeconnect  device icons in the places sidebar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details

Actual Results:  
OMFG

Expected Results:  
Visibility of paired device storage

This is nasty. Of course, if it happens to someone else it's potentially very funny.
I've called this a crash: I guess if I don't click fast enough, the Dolphin instances will take my session down.

How do you get that "open with" dialog to appear? Is it because you have more than one file browser installed? To me that button just launches dolphin, I don't get that dialog at all.

Can try running "xdg-open $HOME" and say if it triggers the same message?
