76 Due to the current situation, I am slower with updates. Hope it didn't get
77 removed.
78 I do have activities and semantic-desktop enabled on mine.
79
80 I attached a screenshot where I found the setting.
81
82 I also found it in the config-file:
83
84 FILE: ~/.config/dolphinrc
85
86 SECTION:
87 ---
88
89 [General]
90 OpenExternallyCalledFolderInNewTab=false
91 Version=200
92 ViewPropsTimestamp=2016,6,16,18,3,14
93
94 ---
95
96 If you can't find the setting in the menus, maybe this will work.
