Description Ben Erickson 2025-01-03 04:44:31 UTC
SUMMARY

As a user, I would like to open all new tabs with a default starting location such as `/home/${USER}`.  At present, new tabs are opened using the current tab's location.  This may be undesirable in situations where the current tab is a remote location (say a SMB share) over a high latency connection.  In such a scenario, the user may be faced with an excessive wait time as the remote directory is loaded even if the user only intended to open or work with a local directory in the new tab.  Therefore, it would be optimal to add an option to the "Dolphin Settings -> Interface -> Folders & Tabs" section such as the following:

```
Open new tabs default location:
* <user_configurable_directory>
* [Default Behavior] Location of the current open tab
```

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At first glance this looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424988 , but the referenced commit appears to be setting the location of the new tab itself within the dolphin interface as opposed to allowing the user to set the default URL/location that the new tab opens, so it is unrelated.
