SUMMARY
Changes to some settings like Startup folder and use Tab key to switch between panes, seem to only be remembered when clicking the "Apply" button first. When just clicking OK, they are ignored.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  create a test dir in your home, e.g. myDir
2. set Dolphin to use myDir as the startup folder instead of the one currently set, then confirm and close the Configure Dolphin window by using the OK button
3. close and reopen Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin opens the previously set Startup dir

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should open myDir

Comment 1 Andrea Ippolito 2024-04-23 19:57:21 UTC
Still reproducible on Dolphin Version 24.02.2

If you want to try the initial folder where Dolphin opens, you have to click Apply first. If you just click OK to save & dismiss the settings window, your change will be ignored (proof, just open the settings window again, and you'll see the startup folder locations hasn't changed).

I couldn't reproduce anymore the same behavior with the "Switch between panes with tab key", as originally stated in my initial comment.
Changes to this setting seem to be working fine now, and are taken into account by either clicking OK or Apply.
