    [SOLVED] Folders opening in new tab in Dolphin instead of new window

    i just installed the latest ksmooth dock and got it setup the way i like. 1 dock for browsers / email, and 1 dock for a dolphin shortcut and various folders i want quick access to. when i first setup the folders dock when i'd click a folder on it the folder would open in a new dolphin window, which is the behavior i wanted. after all the updates for the beta kubuntu backports that behavior changed. i normally keep one dolphin window open with 3 tabs, and when i click on any one of the folders on the dock it opens in a new dolphin window, but i noticed shortly after all the backport updates when i click any of the folders on the tab they open in a new tab on my main opened tabbed dolphin window. i'm hoping the updates just changed some minor setting i can change back, but honestly haven't seen any such setting in the dolphin settings. thoughts please, thanks.

    running kubuntu 19.10 64 bit

    but you might look at the dock setting to see if your Dolphin start commands are "normal" whatever that is. I don't use the dock so I'm not sure how that works, but it seems like it should have a config file somewhere.

    Kinda sounds like Dolphin is defaulting to something. There also is a setting to "Remember..." properties or to "Use common..." properties for folders.
