Description Peter Tselios 2017-12-18 19:17:36 UTC 
When I mount a USB/Phone and select the "Open with File Manager" action, DN always opens a new instance of Dolphin, even if there is already a Dolphin instance running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin
2. Plug a USB 
3. In the device notifier popup select 'Open with file manager'.

Actual Results:  
The device manager opens a new Dolphin instance. 

Expected Results:  
The device manager should use the running instance of Dolphin and either open the USB as a new tab (preferable) or replace Dolphin's active tab contents.

Whenever you click a folder from outside Dolphin a new window is spawned, I don't see why this particular case should be treated differently.
