Description Marc Chamberlin 2023-10-29 19:03:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
Selecting multiple images, then opening the containing folder, use to open a single dialog window showing the selected images highlighted. Now it opens multiple dialog windows each window showing just one of the selected images highlighted. This makes it impossible to do things like renaming the group of selected files using the auto-incrementing file names feature.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Gwenview in a file directory containing multiple image files.
2. Select a number of images to be displayed all at once.
3. Right click on  any image shown, and select "Open Containing Folder"

OBSERVED RESULT
Multiple dialog windows are created,  each showing the containing folder, but with only one file highlighted from the set of selected files.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only one dialog window should be created and opened, showing the files in the containing folder, and with all selected files highlighted. This allows one to treat all of the selected files at once, such as renaming them. This is the way Gwenview has always worked in the past.

I don't understand why I just received a notification today (Oct 29, 2025) that this bug was closed several months ago. This is the first notification I have received about this bug report made over 2 years ago.

That said, in OpenSuSE 15.6 x64 this bug appears to have been fixed.
