Description Matthias 2017-07-10 17:34:38 UTC
I think its a great improvement to automatically adjust the icons in the places panel 

So like it can adjust to more and less devices and so on.
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2017-09-02 23:05:06 UTC
It's not clear what you're asking for. Can you be more specific?
Comment 2 Matthias 2017-09-07 19:53:51 UTC
I suggest to autoscale the items in the places menu, by shifting the width of it. 
KDialog does it so.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2017-09-08 02:14:46 UTC
Hmm, that doesn't help much. Perhaps some screenshots and mockups of your proposal would help.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2017-09-13 21:05:42 UTC
People are annoyed by the autoscaling of icon size in the file dialog places panel, so it certainly should be optional. See bug 182089.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2017-09-14 02:57:06 UTC
This is weird. In this bug, someone asks to implement automatic panel icon resizing. But in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182089, people complain about it! So which is it? Is this feature implemented or not?

FWIW in an up-to-date Neon VM, my save and open dialogs both use small, un-resizable icons and don't ever seem to get bigger no matter how I resize the dialogs.
Comment 6 Matthias 2017-09-15 10:35:50 UTC
Very easy: Make it optional.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2017-09-15 15:57:03 UTC
Yes, but the question remains: is this currently implemented or not?
Comment 8 Matthias 2017-09-17 09:05:15 UTC
In an up to date KaOS installation, it works still.
Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2017-09-20 22:40:19 UTC
Nate, the Dolphin places panel is different from the kio/kfile places panel.
Comment 10 Justin Zobel 2020-10-25 07:09:44 UTC
If this is implemented I hope it is an option that can be turned on, rather than default.
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2022-01-23 04:14:22 UTC
This is now available in Dolphin 22.04 with the port to kflieplacesview, which has that feature.
