I can reproduce this on Dolphin 24.08.3 as well as Dolphin built from git-master (25.03.70) |
SUMMARY I have the OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab setting ("Keep a single Dolphin window, opening new folders in tabs") enabled in Dolphin, but despite this, using my Meta+E keyboard shortcut to launch Dolphin will always create a new window. In previous versions, it would either open $HOME in a new tab, or focus an existing tab that's already in that directory. If I instead launch Dolphin using a path as an argument (e.g. `dolphin ~`), then it behaves the way I would expect it to without the argument. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Verify that OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab=true in ~/.config/dolphinrc 2. Run the command `dolphin` without providing any arguments OBSERVED RESULT Launching Dolphin without arguments always creates a new window. EXPECTED RESULT If the setting is enabled, launching Dolphin without arguments should open a new tab for whichever startup location is configured (or focus an existing tab if a relevant one exists), and only open a new window if no windows currently exist.
