Description grofaty 2024-11-07 06:16:19 UTC

SUMMARY
Select multiple files and right click Open With does not do anything.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select files in Dolphin.
2. Right mouse click.
3. Select Open With

OBSERVED RESULT
I expect application selection to open so I can select e.g. text editor.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing happens, no window opens.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
a) If I select only single file and right click with Open With and application selection does appear.
b) In Windows Explorer selecting multiple files and open with opens application to select.
c) I am not using the latest Dolphin, because each of new version is broken (I am using Windows!!!) with some new bugs I have already reported in separate bug reports and this current version 24.07.70 I use is the most useful despite having several bugs (newer versions are broken like find feature not working properly etc...).

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for all the Windows bug reports you opened. We unfortunately do not have many active contributors to the Windows version, so it might take a while for them to be addressed, but your effort is still appreciated.

@Felix, few mounts ago I discussed Dolphin/Windows issues on KDE forum and got reply that sadly currently there is no Dolphin/Windows developer. No worries some day it will come and will have plenty of work do to, because bugs are already reported.
