Description kaminata 2025-03-23 12:52:13 UTC
SUMMARY
Applications can't open Dolphin's locations if it's a folder. For example I try to open a game's location via Steam client and nothing happens.

qBittorrent also has the same problem - when you choose the "Open destination folder" option, if the task is a single file, there's no problem, Dolphin starts and show's the file destination. If it's a folder however, nothing happens. There's no message or error, just nothing happens.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to open file location via an application if it's a folder.

OBSERVED RESULT
The location isn't opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
The location should be opened.

It's bigger in the open file dialog as well.

Excuse me, it was for another bug. Delete it if it's possible.

I ununstalled kdelibs and that was the reason, Installed it again and everything is working fine. Thanks
