This works, thank you so much!
But it has a drawback - usually Dolphin, as a really nice app, remembers opened
folders in tabs. Once I call
"KIO::highlightInFileManager({QUrl(info.canonicalFilePath())})" on closed
dolphin - all opened tabs are forgotten. It doesn't bother me personally, but
it seems like something fishy.
