After grepping through the sources, I found this option can be set through the context menu of the folder panel. So … sorry for the noise ;-) |
Hello Dolphin devs! The "Folders" panel has a property called "LimitFoldersPanelToHome". When set to "false", one always sees a whole directory tree, starting from /. If set to "true" or this property is unset, one only sees a tree starting from ~, if the currently viewed folder is inside or below ~. However, with recent versions of Dolphin (I can't tell when exactly this happened, I noticed this because I added a new user for the fist time since about 2018 and tried to set meaningful defaults), there is no graphical way anymore to set this property. The behavior is to always start at ~ if inside ~, and to only show a whole directory tree if a folder outside of ~ is viewed. However, this property is still taken into account: If [FoldersPanel] LimitFoldersPanelToHome=false is added manually to ~/.config/dolphinrc, one gets the respective behavior back. Would be nice if one could configure this again graphically. I think this wasn't removed deliberately. Thanks a lot for fixing this! Cheers, Tobias
