Open multiple files’ confirmation warning

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

>Open Dolphin.
>Select multiple files (e.g., music tracks) and press Enter to open them.
>Observe the “Are you sure you want to open X files?” warning appear.
>Go to Configure Dolphin → General → Confirmations.
>Notice that there is no option to disable this particular warning.

OBSERVED RESULT
Warning appears when opening multiple files, but there is no option in the Confirmations settings to disable it.

EXPECTED RESULT
The “Open multiple files” warning should appear in the Confirmations list so that users can disable it if desired.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86
6.1.0-38-amd64 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
Qt: 5.15.8
KDE Frameworks: 5.103.0


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a usability issue. Users often open albums or multiple files in media players and would like a way to suppress this prompt.

Even better would be the option to disable the warning only for particular file types (eg: mp3 ,flac, which open by default as a single vlc playlist instance  on my system)

Hi, thanks for the feature request. I don't see the the warning about opening multiple files at once in Dolphin 25.08.3. It looks like this behavior has changed.

I'm afraid Dolphin 23.08.5 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 25.08.3 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you, or use other application distribution methods such as Flathub. Dolphin is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one and many feature requests have been implemented.

 If you need support for Dolphin 23.08.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If this issue is still reproducible in a supported version of Dolphin, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!
