SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Settings -> initial state -> uncheck "Open new fodlers in tabs" 2. run "dolphin ~/Downloads" 3. Two tabs are opened! OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Did you have the Downloads folder already open the last time you closed Dolphin, and in settings window > Startup, do you have the "Show on startup" setting set to "Folders, tabs, and window state from last time"? If so, this is a known issue that will be fixed when https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/189 is merged.
Yes to both, then let's wait for merge
Great!
Git commit 175538020824355115cd98637ce83ecc53badd44 by Nate Graham. Committed on 27/03/2021 at 01:38. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'release/21.04'. Don't re-open already-open URLs when using session-restore feature If Dolphin would be asked to open a location that is already open, don't open it again in a new tab; instead switch to that view. Supports tabs and split view. FIXED-IN: 21.04 M +18 -6 src/dolphintabwidget.cpp https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/commit/175538020824355115cd98637ce83ecc53badd44
