--- Comment #15 from Jonathan Wakely <zilla at kayari.org> ---
Could you explain why that makes sense, referring to comment 4?

Why is "xdg-open this directory in a file manager, which happens to be Dolphin"
the same as "Start Dolphin and restore the same session as last time"?

I'm not trying to "start a new Dolphin session" I'm just trying to open a
directory in the file manager. Why would I want to open that directory *and get
another copy of all the previous tabs* every time I open a directory? That
means I end up with several Dolphin windows and all of them have another copy
of the same set of tabs, so for the example in comment 0 I get one window with
folders A, X, Y, Z, and another window with B, X, Y, Z. Why is this useful? Why
would I want X, Y, and Z present **in every dolphin window I start**???

Surely the point of "Folders, tabs and window state from last time" is to
restore the state when you first login to the desktop. To, y'know, restore the
state. I don't want to keep "restoring" it again and again every time in
multiple windows. That's dumb. I already restored it once, thanks.


This behaviour might be intentional, but that doesn't mean it's logical or
useful.
