Screenshot of how it looks

SUMMARY
There is a way to start Dolphin from console, for example.
There is a key "--select" in dolphin command which is supposed to select file
paths that are following that command.

Let's say I have a file /home/user/Downloads/picture.jpg
If I type in console "dolphin --select /home/user/Downloads/picture.jpg" AND
have a running instance of Dolphin everything is going to work just perfect.
But if I close all instances  of Dolphin on my PC and do the same console
launch
the same command - then DOlphin is going to open a file as an empty folder,
and, also open that file in gwenview

You might ask "why do you even need to launch Dolphin from console"? My answer
is that I'm trying to make a "Reveal in Finder" kind of feature in my program,
so I'm launching it from the following code:

QProcess proc;
proc.startDetached("dolphin", QStringList() << "--select" <<
info.canonicalFilePath());

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Close all Dolphin instances
2. Type in console "dolphin --select ~/.bashrc"

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin is going to open .bashrc file as if was an empty folder and also run
kate on this file

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin would open home folder and select there .bashrc file if it's visible
