Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I reported this wish some weeks ago on kde-look.org and it has still a 90 % rating and so i would like to post it here.

This is the text from kde-look.org:
=============================================
I was thinking about new Ideas for Filemanagement since first I read about Dolphin. I like the idea of Having a user Friendly File Manager, which supports the User.

What I dislike in the modern FileManagers (an all Actual Oses as far as I know) iss, that you are bound to the actual folder to select Files

In times where we have hundreds of PDFs, thousands of pictures and multimedia files, this is not the right way any more.

My Idea is to get an Element Stack, where you can push and pop Items/Folders from anywhere, by klicking some Button or Mouse Action.

My Graphical Skills are really not so good, so I just added my idea of signalling which items are already stacked to this http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=52738 great mockup.

But for better understanding, just watch this movie.

This OS X Tool does exactly, what I mean.

I really woul love to see something like this in dolphin/kde4.

bug #200461 could be an evolution of this report.

@Bernhard: do you agree on closing this as a dup of bug #200461 ?
