Video showing "Open Containing Folder" from Gwenview triggering two instances
of the image viewer when Dolphin is in Split View.
SUMMARY
When Dolphin is configured to start in Split View mode by default, triggering
the "Open Containing Folder" action from an external application (e.g.,
Gwenview) causes the system to launch two instances of the associated
application for the target file instead of just highlighting it in Dolphin.
This behavior does not occur when Split View is disabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin Settings > Interface > Folders & Tabs and ensure "Begin in
split view mode" is enabled.
2. Open an external application that has a "Show in File Manager" or "Open
Containing Folder" feature (e.g., Gwenview with an open image).
3. Trigger the "Open Containing Folder" action.
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin opens at the correct location with the file highlighted. However, two
separate instances (windows) of the associated application (e.g., Gwenview or a
default Image Viewer) are automatically launched for that file.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should open the folder and highlight the file. No new instances of the
associated application should be launched.
