    You may fail to understand this if you are not a programmer but Dolphin is somehow both singleton and multi instance.

    Its messy code is mostly made for single instance meanwhile there can be multiple dolphin instances.

    The most basic way to observe this is to simply open a second dolphin window in a different folder. New Dolphin will bring tabs from the old Dolphin likely because it thinks those are previously closed tabs meanwhile nothing changes in old Dolphin window. What a mess.

      Just tested ‘the most basic way’ and it doesn’t has this behaviour neither on my machine, nor in vm. Are you sure that it isn’t just something that you configured? Anyway it’s one of the best file managers.

        This was OOTB experience for me on Tuxedo OS. IDK, maybe they ship outdated version or something?

          Maybe they just set it up that way, I think there is an option for this behaviour.
