Description Dotan Cohen 2009-04-25 20:24:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Many buttons that can be added to the Dolphin toolbar have the same name. For instance, the button that sorts by date is called "Date", and the button that shows the date below the icons is also called "Date".

The reported problem still exists in dolphin 1.99 . It is really a bit confusing to normal users.

Dotan can you please confirm this is still an issue with the most recent version of Dolphin.

Perhaps they should be "Display Foo Column" and "Sort By Foo".

Confirmed, this is still an issue, as Dotan mentioned better labeling should be applied to these buttons.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Dolphin 25.12.0
