SUMMARY Dear developers, When compressing files by right click -> "Compress here" in Dolphin, after the compression is completed, a new tab is opened in Dolphin with the same folder where the user initiated this action. In most cases the compression only take a few seconds and the user hasn't close/leave that folder. The current behavior leads to two tabs of the same folder which the user has to close manually. I'm not sure what is the best approach here. Ideally one would check if the tab will be duplicated and do not open a new one if that is true. If this is not possible, I suggest do not open a new tab if the compression does not take more than 5 or 10 seconds since the user is likely still staying in the folder, waiting for it to finish. Thanks for reading! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click a file in Dolphin and click "Compress here" in the context menu OBSERVED RESULT A new tab with the same path is opened. EXPECTED RESULT No duplicate tabs in the same Dolphin window after completion.

I do agree from a UX perspective. Technically speaking Ark tells Dolphin "highlight this file" and the rest is up to Dolphin, so it needs to be addressed in Dolphin, not Ark
