Don't worry about it. This is a well understood problem that has come up enough
that KDE contributors are generally aware of how to migrate legacy users
settings. The change in
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/445 also applying to
existing users was something I argued in favour of in
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/445#note_521735 , but it
was decided among us contributors that this was fine in this case. We are aware
of ways on how to avoid this, but they were not chosen there.

Let's keep this bug report focused on the main and initially reported bug about
there being no setting to completely avoid opening secondary Dolphin windows.
We should try to not make this bug report too complicated for people coming
here in the future.
