Created attachment 116186 [details] Mockup of the suggested feature There should be an option to toggle the «Show All Entries» in the Panels submenu in Dolphin. This will make it more discoverable, and be easier to find and unhide items which were accidentally hidden. Attached an image of what I'm envisioning.
That does sound like a good idea, especially for our Usability Initiative.
Okay, this went rather fast! :) https://phabricator.kde.org/D16767
