what happens?
it always opens a new window of dolphin

what should happen?
always open a new tab. This isnt windows Explorer, Dolphin is made for tabs.

Dolphin has an "Open new folders in tabs" option you can use if you'd like to do this.

Comment 2 Henning 2023-08-12 11:01:21 UTC

This fixed it! thanks. I would think this should be default, as Dolphin is tab-based?

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-08-21 17:48:57 UTC

We've gone back and forth on this. There are pros and cons to both approaches. I trust the Dolphin maintainers  with respect to what the default setting is currently set to.
