SUMMARY
Dolphin's "Create new" menu doesn't show a "Folder" option (to create a new folder) and instead unexpectedly shows items in home directory.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open Dolphin, navigate to any directory, and right-click on the file view to open the menu.  Then point to "Create new".

OBSERVED RESULT
The menu shows the files and directories in my home directory where I didn't expect them, and the menu doesn't show a "Folder" option.  However, the menu also shows "Text file...", "Empty file...", "Link to...", etc., as I would expect.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Fedora 41 workstation, KDE Plasma 4.2, Dolphin 24.08.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am not able to reproduce this with Dolphin 24.11.70 on git-master
or with Dolphin 24.08.1 on Plasma 6.1.5

I notice your notes say this is Fedora 41 workstation with KDE Plasma 4.2. Is that correct?

Also, had you installed any services in Dolphin (found under Menu - Configure - Configure Dolphin - Context Menu)?

The output of `inxi -S` is:

System:
  Host: fedora Kernel: 6.11.4-300.fc41.x86_64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64
  Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 6.2.1 Distro: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)

The issue persists even with the default set of context menu services, and even if I clear all checkboxes from the list of context menu services.

Thanks for that additional information. I'll keep this open so someone can investigate further.
