            Bug ID: 456312
           Summary: Opening a folder that is already opened in Dolphin
                    should focus its window no matter the option "Open new
                    folders in tabs"
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.12.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: cipricus at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

If the option "Open new folders in tabs" is enabled: clicking to open on the
desktop a folder that is already open in Dolphin focuses that window.

If the option "Open new folders in tabs" is disabled: clicking to open on the
desktop a folder that is already open in Dolphin opens that folder in a new
window.

That is unexpected: the option to open a new folder in a tab or a window should
not affect the fact that if a folder is opened in Dolphin its window should be
focused instead of it being opened in a new window .

Focus an already opened window/tab  should always happen or, if that's not
true, it's incoherent to have that focus when the option "Open new folders in
tabs" is enabled: logically that focus should happen in both cases or in none.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. enable or disable the Settings  > "Startup"  >  "Open new folders in tabs"
option


OBSERVED RESULT

1. if enabled, clicking to open on the desktop a folder that is already open in
Dolphin focuses that window.

2, if disabled, clicking to open on the desktop a folder that is already open
in Dolphin opens that folder in a new window


EXPECTED RESULT

That option should not change the fact that the window/tab of an already open
folder should be focused (instead of a new one being opened) when opening that
folder again.
