            Bug ID: 503183
           Summary: [Feature request]  Do not lost selection focus upon
                    opening files
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Currently, opening a file in Dolphin under any mode (list, icon, compact) will
cause the selection to be lost when the window of the program that associated
with the file is opened and then return to Dolphin. This causes small
inconvenience for people who wants to visit files in the folder in a specific
order. The loss of focus makes it difficult to find out which file he/she just
visited and thus cannot continue unless he/she remember the filename.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder with multiple files (say text files) with Dolphin
2. Open a file. The program (e.g. Kate) opens.
3. Close the program window and return to Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
The focus of the opened file is lost.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file remain selected upon return.
