Currently, the breadcrumb atop the newly redesigned file browser in Amarok wastes a lot of space trying to show folder icons (which are not even the same as the custom icon set in the .directory files). As a result, there's no space left to show the important information.

A typical folder structure will look like this: /path/Music/artist/album/<songs>. The path takes up most of the space because of the icons. As a result, the artist and album directories have no space left to display. Currently,  the solution is to expand the pane containing the file browser. This is not an ideal solution.

My solution for this is to drop the icons. This will:

1) save up considerable space in the breadcrumb to show at least the last two directories.
2) relieve any confusion arising from the "Home" icon from Dolphin being used for the Music Sources Home. This used to be a problem in the old version of the file browser (one that's been arguably fixed by the current redesign), but it's still weird. The Music Sources icon isn't really the point of this bug, but fixing this will help with that problem - a nice added benefit.

If I'm not clear on anything, please let me know. Thanks!
