            Bug ID: 498302
           Summary: Dolphin doesn't respect the "single window" setting
                    when launched with no arguments
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.12.0
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

SUMMARY
I have the OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab setting ("Keep a single Dolphin
window, opening new folders in tabs") enabled in Dolphin, but despite this,
using my Meta+E keyboard shortcut to launch Dolphin will always create a new
window. In previous versions, it would either open $HOME in a new tab, or focus
an existing tab that's already in that directory. If I instead launch Dolphin
using a path as an argument (e.g. `dolphin ~`), then it behaves the way I would
expect it to without the argument.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Verify that OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab=true in ~/.config/dolphinrc
2. Run the command `dolphin` without providing any arguments

OBSERVED RESULT
Launching Dolphin without arguments always creates a new window.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the setting is enabled, launching Dolphin without arguments should open a
new tab for whichever startup location is configured (or focus an existing tab
if a relevant one exists), and only open a new window if no windows currently
exist.
