Default Dolphin folder changed

Help
1

I noticed on both my computer and my roommates computer that after the recent updates that when a logoff or reboot is done one only one Dolphin window out of three opens, and two it open to Home instead of the last folder(s) even though three Dolphin windows are set to open at logon reboot to specific folders. Is there anything on my end I can do to address this. Thanks

If the problem is with tabs opened (only opens 1 tab instead the all opened before), the fix is in this thread:

I noticed the end of that is “NumberOfWindows 1” does this mean even if I normally have 3 windows open that on login or reboot only one window will open? If that is the case Dolphin is already doing that for which I have a thread here about it.

kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin --group Number --key NumberOfWindows 1

You can use 2 differents commands to fix the tabs opened (I have 7 tabs) instead only 1 if you restart Dolphin. I only tried the first and works for me:

kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin --group Number --key NumberOfWindows 1

or

echo -e '\n[Number]\nNumberOfWindows=1\n' >> ~/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin

Seems like that worked to remember the tabs, thanks

Now just to get it to remember to open all 3 Dolphin windows on login or reboot again.

I don’t have the correct answer (maybe is a bug) but I think in a possible workaround. You can try to add 2 or 3 Dolphins in Autostart:

Clicking in Add new and + Application... like this:

If opens 4 remove 1 of the Autostart.
