Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I love dolphin's breadcrumb navigation feature! Currently the behaviour is as follows: When I click (& hold) a directorie's name in the breadcrumbs there drops down a selection list with all the directory names of subdirectories of the clicked one. Nevertheless i'd find it more intuitive if, when clicking on a folder's name, the selection list would contain the names of the directories at the same level as the clicked dir. Example: Dir1 > SubDir1 > SubSubDir1 * clicking on Dir1 should list [Dir2, Dir3, Dir4, ...] instead of [SubDir1, Subdir2, ...] * clicking on SubDir1 should list [SubDir2, SubDir3, SubDir4, ...] instead of [SubSubDir1, SubSubDir2, ...] * ... * behaviour of clicking the arrows ('>') would be just fine, to contain the subdirs (as it does right now) I understand that it's hard to change this behaviour, now that everybody got used to it. But maybe it could be a configurable option because i don't really get used to that, an when I want to change from SubDir1 to SubDir2 i usually click at SubDir1 instead of Dir1. P.S.: I love dolphin! Great work!
Thanks Tobias for the report :-) I generally agree that your approach might be more useful. But as you said it will get tricky to change the behavior as some people got used to it already. Providing an option is not really a solution, as the breadcrumb widget is used by other applications too and the breadcrumb options are in the hand of each application... For KDE 4.2 it is too late already (tomorrow is feature freeze), but I'll leave this wish open so that other people can vote for this feature. If there are enough votes, I'm open for changing the behavior.
today I happened to miss that feature again... that's why I start to vote on my own bug... maybe it helps :)
SVN commit 902488 by ppenz: Open the sub folders list below the > button when doing a long press on a breadcrumb button, so that it is clear that sub folders are shown. This is not the suggested solution for bug 175295, but I think improves the situation...

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
I think we can close this report at this point. No one else voted/commented in years and as Peter said, we cannot add an option for this.
