            Bug ID: 498193
           Summary: Allow user to specify the default location to open in
                    a new tab
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.12.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

As a user, I would like to open all new tabs with a default starting location
such as `/home/${USER}`.  At present, new tabs are opened using the current
tab's location.  This may be undesirable in situations where the current tab is
a remote location (say a SMB share) over a high latency connection.  In such a
scenario, the user may be faced with an excessive wait time as the remote
directory is loaded even if the user only intended to open or work with a local
directory in the new tab.  Therefore, it would be optimal to add an option to
the "Dolphin Settings -> Interface -> Folders & Tabs" section such as the
following:

```
Open new tabs default location:
* <user_configurable_directory>
* [Default Behavior] Location of the current open tab
```

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At first glance this looks like a duplicate of
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424988 , but the referenced commit appears
to be setting the location of the new tab itself within the dolphin interface
as opposed to allowing the user to set the default URL/location that the new
tab opens, so it is unrelated.
