Bug Description

Inconsistency: krunner doesn't launch dolphin for the "." or ".." paths. While other valid paths work normally (e.g. /home/user) and invalid paths are ignored (krunner keeps the dialog open), krunner seems to imply it will open the "." or ".." directories ('Open ".."' appears in the bottom panel for "..") but does nothing visible instead, and it doesn't give an error.

Using Kubuntu 8.10 x64.

UPDATE: It doesn't seem to open paths relative to the home directory either, while still implying it will open them. E.g. typing "Music" won't open the ~/Music dir.

Thank you for your bug report.

This appears to be fixed in KDE 4.2 (beta 1) (in Ubuntu Jaunty); ".", ".." and "~/Music" get opened in Dolphin.
