I noticed that if I say click on a directory on the desktop or in the removable devices thing click on open in file manager that it not only opens the directory or mount point but also has a set of tabs from the last instance of Dolphin I used. On the old rig, it just opened what I clicked on and nothing else but now, it opens what I clicked on plus extra stuff I don't need. I usually have four instances of Dolphin open. It's like it gets confused or something and just adds on whatever it thinks I might need even if I don't need it. It's weird. Every time I think I know what it is going to do, it does something different. I've looked for setting that is like 'allow multiple instances' or something but don't see anything. Maybe one day I'll right click on something and there it is. A setting that makes it behave like I am used to. I realized a bit ago that I'm on stable KDE on the new rig. I'm in the process of upgrading to testing. Maybe that will fix some things. Never hurts to hope. ;-) The old rig ran testing as well. Dale :-) :-)
