            Bug ID: 495207
           Summary: Make Dolphin always run in the background to
                    accelerate start-up process
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.08.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

On Microsoft Windows, explorer.exe is the process responsible for Windows
Explorer (the file manager), but also for the taskbar and its related things.

On KDE Plasma, dolphin is responsible for the file managment, while plasmashell
is responsible for the taskbar and its related things.

I think the reason that Windows always runs explorer.exe in the background may
also be due to the fact that it makes the file manager start faster.

I believe the same idea could also be applied to Plasma. Having dolphin always
running in the background would certainly speed-up its start-up process,
because it would always be available on RAM.
