Description Kevin Kandlbinder 2022-01-18 12:34:59 UTC

SUMMARY
Dolphin always restores all tabs from last close. Even if a secondary instance and so on is opened.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Create multiple Tabs
3. Close Dolphin
4. Open Dolphin (Tabs are restored)
5. Open another Dolphin (New Instance, Middle Click on Icon, or Meta+E)

OBSERVED RESULT
On the second instance all tabs from last close are there again. Especially when many tabs are open, this is annoying.

EXPECTED RESULT
A fresh start of Dolphin, with no tabs opened. (Just like "New Window" / Ctrl+N)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I agree with all of the above. There should be no restoration happening when a Dolphin instance is already running.

Comment 2 Andrey 2022-10-12 13:17:05 UTC

I'm not sure why this is a problem.
What prevents from just using "New Window" / Ctrl+N for this?
