Description Recesvintvs 2020-03-10 22:17:19 UTC
Could something like this be added to Plasma, both for the desktop itself and the folder view widget?

NB: I've selected the "components" component because I had to select one, but I dont know which component is the correct. Sorry.

There is a folder view widget plasmoid.

I am not taking requests for cloning UIs

And this lack of respect from some devs to users' intelligence is another example of what discourages users to report bugs...

No, folder view plasmoid has nothing to do with stacking files; and if I've been missing for years that there's an stacking option in folder view plasmoid, please ilustrate me and accept my most sincere apologies.
Folder view does NOT stack files acording to their type, date, tags and several other criteria. Actually, stacking files would benefit default Plasma desktop and Folder view widgets. If I have a folder with a lot of downloaded files that may be PDFs, MP4s. Opuses, MP3s, MDs, etc, etc, it would be very useful to stack them according to its type, so I can easily move the PDFs to my Documents folder, for example. Also if I could stack all the files in a folder that have the tag architecture I could just select that stack and copy to a pendrive or send them to my cloud space to keep using them for my university works for my Architecture studies on my laptop.
It's not about cloning any UI but about adding an nonexistent feature in Plasma.

Oh, yes, of course I can use Dolphin's filter bar, do a tag search, change the order to make dolphin show the files by date/type/whatever... and surely a dozen more ways including using the console, but this is just easier, smarter and keeps the folder or desktop view cleaner.

Could you please describe how the feature works without linking to propietary sites?
