I am already using the suggested repository as well as the newest version of dolphin from there. After having researched the issue myself, it turns out not to be a bug in dolphin (it does restore its previous session correctly), but to be an upgrade problem between the previous used openSUSE 12.3 KDE4 dolphin and the new openSUSE 13.1 KDE4 dolphin version. After having used one of the new dolphin processes to setup a test using two tabs containing two different directories (not equal home), logged out and back in, I discovered these rather interesting files related to dolphin in my "~/.kde4/share/config/session" directory, e.g.: -rw------- 1 dennis users 903 Oct 30 2013 dolphin_10ffe2d4d9000136916131500000061040026_1383099067_971446 ...(lots of other "*_13..._*" files around)... and -rw------- 1 dennis users 1548 Apr 9 15:57 dolphin_10ffe2d4d9000141120582300000029660012_1428587825_894566 -rw------- 1 dennis users 895 Apr 9 15:57 dolphin_10ffe2d4d9000141120996400000029660023_1428587825_894875 ...(lots of other "*_14..._*" files around)... The interesting part here is "..._1383099067_..." and "..._1428587825_...", which seems to be some kind of version numbering or the like. When looking into these files, it is clear that the format of this session file has changed at some point, because the "...13..." contains: [1] Active Tab Index=1 Tab 0 Primary Editable=true Tab 0 Primary URL=file:///home/dennis/Documents/Technical/Literature Tab 1 Primary Editable=true Tab 1 Primary URL=file:///home/dennis/Documents Tab Count=2 ... whereas the "...14..." contains: 1] Active Tab Index=0 Tab Count=2 Tab Data 0=\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x003file:///home/dennis/Documents/Technical/Literature/\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00^file:///home/dennis/Documents/Technical/Literature/199405xx%20The%20UNIX-HATERS%20Handbook.pdf\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x1a\x00\x00\x00�\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01 Tab Data 1=\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x1efile:///home/dennis/Documents/\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00Rfile:///home/dennis/Documents/20100426%20Artikel%20%C3%BCber%20Bagger%20Besuch.pdf\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x1a\x00\x00\x00�\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01 So, the problem was not that the dolphin sessions do not get restored (they do), the problem was that dolphin from openSUSE 13.1 either cannot see or does not understand the format in the session files that I had around from openSUSE 12.3 (resp. from the KDE repositories for openSUSE 12.3). Because the newer version of dolphin obviously cannot do an automatic update of the older saved session files, one has to do this manually oneself by walking through all the old session files setting up the dolphin processes with the wanted tabs, do a logout and login, and then remove the old "dolphin_*_13*_*" files in the "~/.kde4/share/config/session" directory, after which you are rocking once more. Anyway, many thanks for your reply and time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
