You can see a few YouTube videos of it.  Notice how in those videos, the 
uploader always opens folders containing image files to show this new 
behavior, because it makes Dolphin look like an image viewer.  There's a 
slight problem with this though; Dolphin is not an image viewer.

The Dolphin devs might have meant it well, but they shouldn't have done 
this.  It just looks unprofessional and a bit silly.
