            Bug ID: 415725
           Summary: When Dolphin is set to open new folders in tabs it
                    produces undesirable behavior with activities
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 19.08.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: ericsbinaryworld at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Previous behavior: if I open Dolphin (either from taskbar or from folderview
plasmoid) in an activity, it opens a new window in that activity.

Current behavior: switches me to whatever activity already has Dolphin open and
opens it there. (Basically, the same way that KDE/Plasma handles opening a web
browser link)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have dolphin open in activity 1
2. Open dolphin via taskbar or folderview in activity 2
3. The screen is switched to activity 1 and the folder is opened there.

OBSERVED RESULT
Switches me to an activity that already has Dolphin open

EXPECTED RESULT
Should, at the least, search for another Dolphin window in the same activity.
But, probably, if it's on another workspace (virtual desktop), the user wants a
new copy of Dolphin opened. I'd prefer the latter, but be happy with the
former.
