Added that and it still opens in another instance and adds a tab. After my edit, it looks like this: Exec=dolphin %u --new-window The file I edited is located here including the file name: /usr/share/applications/org.kde.dolphin.desktop Did I add it to the wrong place or does it require more than that? There are several .desktop files as listed here: root@fireball / # equery f kde-apps/dolphin | grep desktop /usr/share/applications/org.kde.dolphin.desktop /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.xml /usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.dolphin.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/dolphinpart.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/kcmdolphingeneral.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/kcmdolphinnavigation.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/kcmdolphinservices.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/kcmdolphinviewmodes.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/fileviewversioncontrolplugin.desktop root@fireball / # Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
