Most of the time, I like to open multiple tabs to mitigate the lack of proper horizontal and vertical split view like in the old Konqueror. An ergonomic problem arises quite quickly when working on low resolution (ie. 1366x768) when I begin to have more than 5-6 tabs : you first have to click multiple time on the small arrow to find your tab, then click on that tabs. 2 solutions would be great here : 1/ Add an option to allow multiple lines to display tabs 2/ Add an option to set minimum and maximum tab width, and try whenever possible within those constraints to display all the tabs on one and only one line (I'd rather choose this solution). The firefox extensions "Custom tab width" do that pretty well for instance. Reproducible: Always
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
This is still valid after 5 years. Having the ability to display tabs on multiple lines would be handy.
Similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311580, but a solution to both is the option of a vertical tab bar. As a tab junkie, I always make my task manager vertical, and my tabs vertical when possible. Would be a great addition to Dolphin (or in general other kde apps) to have this option.

Using the split view 100% of the time, having vertical tabs would be a massive waste of space for my use case. However I could understand why somebody would want that feature. Maybe it should be created in a separated issue since it serves a different purpose?
Sure, I can open another issue. Fair enough on the different use case preferences. In my case I find with prevalence of widescreen monitors there is more than enough horizontal space to sacrifice, so appreciate the options for more vertical panels.
