We could get rid > of it altogether or increase it to a large number(like 50?) What do you need so many files opened at once for? I'm trying to open directories not files. I see no dialog in dolphin 17.12.3 when I select more than 6 folders and click "open in new tabs" in context menu. This is a safety and usability feature. Most sane workflows don't require simultaneously opening large numbers of files and folders. For those that do, just click Yes in the dialog that appears, or even faster: hit the left arrow hey and then the return key. If you're regularly doing something that requires opening 6 items at the same time, it might be time to rethink the workflow itself. I open multiple *.mp3 files with audacious, I also open multiple *.jpg/*.png files with gimp, this is a useful request. We could at least hide the warning if the extensions are all the same. I suggest to make it also depend on wether the application supports multiple files or not. I had accidentally (QTBUG-57849) opened several *.blender files, and since Blender doesn't support opening multiple files, it started several instances, causing my system to freeze due to swapping taking all CPU time away from applications and the UI. A hard power-down was needed. For applications that would need to be started multiple times, even two selected files should show a (configurable) warning. That would probably be a separate issue, but I agree. We could introspect the app's desktop file to see if it supports multiple files/URLs. Probably not that hard to do. |
