            Bug ID: 491474
           Summary: Share targets only open for the first time per
                    instance of dolphin
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.05.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In dolphin context menu for files, there is a 'share' menu which exposes
options like Email, Bluetooth and KDE Connect. On selecting some of them,
another window pops up asking for more details (e.g Send via Bluetooth shows
bluetooth devices and Send to Device shows KDE Connect pair devices).

But with recent update (confirmed on version 24.05 on fedora kde stable and
also 24.11.70 on Neon unstable), those options only work once per instance (i.e
window) of dolphin. Once an option is selected, none of the share target items
function for any file when triggered from the same dolphin window. Opening a
new window, and sharing a file, it works again, but 1st time only.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a dolphin window, select some file.
2. Right click> share> select, say, kde connect option (Send To Device)
3. Another 'Send file - dolphin' window appears to select devices, either send
the file or just close the window
4. Try to repeat from step 2, either for the same file or a different one.
5. Try different combinations, say first select share> Send via Bluetooth and
then subsequently try KDE Connect option. Or try the same option twice for a
file.  

OBSERVED RESULT
Sharing something again should show 'Send file - dolphin' window again (or
launch email client or nextcloud window or whatever depending on selection).

EXPECTED RESULT
None of the share items work once one is selected for a file. It again works on
a new window of dolphin, but only one time for that window.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also tried this in the latest neon unstable build
(neon-unstable-20240807-1052.iso) with dolphin version 24.11.70, and it's
largely the same issue. The only other quirk I found was, when email option was
selected, it showed a red banner complaining that no email client was found
(expected). Trying to share something else within that dolphin window, it
started showing the red banner about no email client, regardless of which
option I selected (bluetooth/kdeconnect/nextcloud etc.) as if all those options
were trying to launch email client.

I can't confirm this for my fedora installations as I've thunderbird setup and
sharing via email doesn't do anything (another bug? thunderbird is flatpak if
that's relevant).
