Bug ID: 479048
Summary: Firefox/notification opens new Dolphin instance
instead of opening a tab in the existed one
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 23.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sunwe...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When you download something, for example in Firefox and try to open folder that
contains that file either from Firefox or by using widget in the notification
panel it opens up with one of 2 cases:
1) IF Dolphin is already opened AND doesn't have this folder already opened
prior to you opening it with methods described above THEN new Dolphin instance
is opened. Which is bad for reasons below.
2) IF Dolphin is already opened AND does have this folder already opened prior
to you opening it with methods described above THEN Dolphin is switching to
this tab. Which is good.
Why 1st case is bad? Not only it creates new instance as a minor inconvenience
but if you don't have Dolphin already opened with your favourite tabs that are
remembered the new Dolphin instance completely erases those. So you lose your
tabs.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Open Dolphin, open few tabs, make sure they're remembered, close Dolphin
1. Open Firefox and download anything(the same page to html should be enough)
2a. Go to Firefox to open place where file was downloaded
2b. Click on the notification and choose Open Containing Folder
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin is opened with the right folder but previously remembered tabs
disappeared.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin is opened with all previously remembered tabs. If tab doesn't exist it
opens new tab that leads to folder containing file.
