It's supposed to be a list in vertical panels but the minimum size seems broken/way too small. *** Bug 364410 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There is clearly some issue with automatic choice of mode between icon and list. Notwithstanding, adding a simple checkbox, in the widget settings, to let the user choose would solve many problems. Even in cases where there is room for a list view, some users may prefer a simple icon anyway. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/278 Git commit 607675367baab275c2faab255ca85df0b9a5e3f1 by Nate Graham.

[folder view] Fix display on not-skinny vertical panels Folder view has some logic to switch between its compact and full representations for vertical panels, but it is faulty, and causes the switch to happen at approximately 50px width. At this width, the display is completely unusable as the text is elided away into nothingness. This commit remedies the situation by imposing a more sane minimum width based on gridUnit. With the default 10pt font, the minimum thickness is now 144px, which leaves enough room for the labels to be at least partially visible. At lower panel widths, the applet displays its compact representation.

Created attachment 119585 [details] Folder View on a vertical panel SUMMARY The folder view widget is not an icon on vertical panels like it is on horizontal panels. This makes it unusable on vertical panels. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a vertical panel 2. Add a Folder View widget to it OBSERVED RESULT Rather than being an icon, Folder View shows a list of files and folders in the space of the vertical panel. EXPECTED RESULT The Folder View should be an icon on the panel that pops out a list of files and folders when opened.
