Places are a nice tool to pin folders for quick access. However, having too many clutters the panel again. For example I have 3 folders for university stuff, 2 for photography, 2 for programming, the the standard home folders, etc. To counter this, I think it'd be convenient to enhance it. Here are some ideas: 1) Category-Folders for folders Similar to bookmarks like in the FireFox browser, folders in places could be added to a "top-folder" 2) Folders, which belong a to certain category could gain a visual indicator, like a special colored background, a colored bar on a side 3) Titles could be added above the folders 4) Separator lines could divide categories I hope you understand my problem and maybe you even have better ideas how to improve Dolphin in this section. :)
1 & 2: nested places have been rejected before. Dolphin in fact already has a real web browser style bookmarks feature (show menubar > Go menu > bookmarks) for people with sufficiently advanced needs such as these. 3: Sounds like you would like to be able to define custom groups essentially. Let's use the bug report to track this. 4: Already tracked with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169751
