The application launching Dolphin passes a token via the XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN environment variable
We need to pass that to the running instance so that it can use it to raise itself
In Dolphin on wayland currently, if you right clicks a file and create a
zip file from it, Dolphin makes a new window.
What we want to happen is Dolphin to focus the window we have with the
file selected.
This patches Dolphin's dbusinterface.cpp to call
KWindowSystem::setCurrentXdgActivationToken()
with the startupID
I am trying to run Dolphin on a minimal FreeBSD CHERI-RISC-V QEMU
instance and I haven't got DBus running. Without this change, I get
crashes because QDBusConnection::sessionBus().interface() returns NULL
if DBus isn't running.
adds a method to ask what's the sorting strategy (column and order) for a particular Url, as Dolphin can have directory-specific sorting strategies
This makes possible for other apps that have lists of files, like Gwenview to use the same sorting when invoked from dolphin, ie opening an image
CCBUG:236059
Summary:
`dolphin --daemon` does not have the `/dolphin/Dolphin_1` dbus path,
because it doesn't have any DolphinMainWindow.
Instead of working around this issue (as we did in D21666 and D25510),
just exclude these processes from the list of dbus instances checked by
`Dolphin::attachToExistingInstance()`.

Summary:
Adds an option to open externally called folder in a new tab.
By default this option is enabled
Test Plan:
If option selected:
1. All valid arguments passed to Dolphin should be opened in tabs of an instance(s) (if it exists). Duplicate tabs just change activation to current tab.
If option not selected:
1. All calls to Dolphin result in a new instance being opened
This option does not require Dolphin to be restarted to take effect.

Summary:
FEATURE: 183429
FIXED-IN: 19.08.0
GUI: new cli argument --new-window
Externally called files/directories are opened in a a new tab of an instance of Dolphin that already exists. If any of the given URIs are already open in a tab, then those tabs are activated instead of a new tab being opened. If there is no instance then the files/directories are opened in a new window. The newly opened file/directory has its tab activated, and consequently, the window is also activated.
When the user clicks "Open In New Window" or "Detach Tab", the files/directories are opened in a new window.
Test Plan:
[Manual]
Before testing, set the default file manager in system settings as the newly built Dolphin executable.
One must also include the new dolphin executable in the $PATH, otherwise some functions will attempt to open the system dolphin instead of the new one.
Furthermore, running two different versions of Dolphin (in particular, where one does not have this patch included) can result in bugs appearing, in particular, new tabs not opening as old instances will not recognise the DBus commands sent to it. However, I see no reason why a user will have two different versions of Dolphin (apart from people like us :D).
Open directories with the help of auxillary programs (i.e. a browser). The files/directories should appear in a new window if an instance does not exist. If an existence already exists, then a new tab should be opened and activated in that instance and the window activated.
Use QDBusViewer to open folders/items by calling the ShowFolders/ShowItems methods in org.freedesktop.FileManager1 of the Dolphin instance.
When a user chooses to "Open In New Window"/"Detach Tab" then the files/directories should be opened in a new window.

Summary:
Currently if someone starts 2 dolphins, the second cannot register
org.freedesktop.FileManager1 meaning and when the first dolphin quits,
no-one has it registered.
It doesn't cause a huge problem right now as we just dbus-activate a new one if
needed, but it means the behaviour is a bit inconsistent and
non-optimal.
DBus has a system to queue names, meaning that as long as any dolphin is
running this name is owned by one of the processes.
Also this patch registers the service after the object which is
technically safer.
Test Plan:
Ran d-feet
Opened 2 dolphins, closed the first
Service was still registered and the PID of the owning process changed.

Otherwise KRun opens a separate instance for every URL passed although Dolphin
already has logic to open different folders in tabs if neccessary.
