I was just testing this. With this patch, a non-existing ~/test: 1. Dolphin goes to /home/dh/test, and a red box tells the folder does not exist. This is better than the protocol-error message, so https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372813 should be fixed. 2. In the file open-dialog: This expands also to /home/dh/test, but does not raise an error. So the contents of the listview remains the same. In summary: 1. is certainly better with this patch. 2. file open dialog was possibly better without this patch, since "~/home" <enter> resulted in "/" and not silently in some location that does not exist. This should probably be improved in the file-open dialog itself? All in all, this patch is an improvement.
