Description Miroslav Jarý 2025-08-15 13:03:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
"Open in File Manager" button does not work properly for MTP/PTP devices (I could verify with my Nikon camera & Android 13 phone) - it opens a user's home folder. However when using the "View Photos with File Manager" button hidden under the collapsible, the device's folder mounts just fine.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in a device via USB using MTP/PTP protocol.
2. Open the Disks & Devices widget
3. Click the "Open in File Manager" button 

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin opens user's home folder.

EXPECTED RESULT
Button behaves the same as the "View Photos with File Manager" button.
