Bug ID: 451809
Summary: Missing "Open in new window" option when right
clicking folders in the path
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.92.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
In Dolphin right clicking on folders in the main view or on any entry in the
places panel gives both "Open in new tab" and "Open in new window" options,
however right clicking on the path bar only gives the "Open in new tab" option.
While it is possible to detach the tab and create a new window afterwards, it
seems odd to me that the option to open a new window is missing in this case,
while it is present everywhere else in the app.
Granted, it is possible to detach tabs to create a new window afterwards, and
while writing this I just realised that split view can solve the use case I
wanted this feature for (say the current path is a/b/c, and I then need to
find/open something in a/d/e, but I'd like to still be able to look at a/b/c at
the same time, my first thought was to right click a in the path and try to
open it in a new window). Still, a new window is more flexible than the split
view since then it doesn't need to be side by side with the original view (say
the new window could go on another display), so I don't think it would be
completely redundant.
Also, I put this under frameworks-kio since that's where bug 402073 (the one
referring to adding the "Open in new tab" option to the path context menu) is,
I hope this is the right place.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Right click an entry in the path/location bar
OBSERVED RESULT
"Open in new tab" is present in the context menu, but not "Open in new window".
EXPECTED RESULT
Both "Open in new tab" and "Open in new window" should be present, just like
when right clicking a folder.
