Can confirm on

Is that a typo in your Dolphin version?

Even though this is apparently a duplicate of another bug report, it's status has been mis-marked as RESOLVED FIXED. Even after Discover distro upgraded Fedora from 41 to 42 a few moments ago, Dolphin 24.12.3 is still ignoring the 'Folders, tabs, and window state from last time' setting.

I apologize for the version typo, and this bug for Dolphin 24.12.3 was unreported at the time of my report posting or so I thought when I did a search for this specific Dolphin bug.

I can still confirm Dolphin 24.12.3 continues to ignore the Folders, tabs, and window state from last time' setting even after Discover distro upgraded Fedora fro 41 to 42 nearly an hour ago as of this typing. The original reporter of this bug for Dolphin 24.13.2 I believe mis-marked this bugs status as RESOLVED FIXED since it's not fixed yet.

The bug has been fixed in upstream code, and looks like it's scheduled for release in version 25.04 - https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/6032b78512685dc7d6cc3754d536823d428525c4 is the commit to that version's code branch.

Please reference https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Understand_what_the_resolution_statuses_mean -

"RESOLVED FIXED means the issue has been fixed by KDE--even if the version that contains the fix has not been released yet, or if you are not yet using the version that contains this fix."
