SUMMARY Since this PR[1], three new default places have been added to the Places pane in Dolphin. However, I don’t like them, and hiding them doesn’t change the behavior of the navigation bar (that is to say, only displaying the name of the folder, e.g. “> Downloads” instead of “> Home > Downloads” and I use this a lot to go back to my home directory). Now I see why I can’t remove the Home, Root or Trash icon, but for those new default places, either I should be able to remove them, or hiding them should change how the Dolphin’s navigation bar works. [1]: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/93 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin 2. Right-click on “Documents” OBSERVED RESULT No possibility to remove the item EXPECTED RESULT Should be able to remove the item SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1
Open Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> startup, enable "show full path inside location bar", do that restore the behaviour you want?

It’s not the same. When I’m in a subdirectory of my home folder, I still want the first item in the location bar to be «Home», but I don’t want it to happen for subdirectories because I like the consistency of the first item of the path staying the same while I stay inside my home directory and also I use it to go back to my home directory. I feel like it makes sense to let the Root, Trash and Home directory not be removable because a user would have difficulty to add them back, but I don’t understand why «Documents» and «Downloads» bookmarks aren’t removable since they are easily re-addable. For people stumbling upon this: you can edit `~/.local/share/user-places.xbel` but it’s kind of hard to figure out if you’re not tech-savvy and not sure what the consequences are if the file is corrupted.
I see your point, hidden places shouldn't affect how the navigation bar behaves (I didn't see the issue in my user account, but in a new user account I could clearly see what you were talking about).

Git commit 74904f0cac872aac2423fe41adb115c3dc330ad5 by David Faure, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 10/10/2020 at 16:55. Pushed by dfaure into branch 'master'. KFilePlacesModel: ignore hidden places when computing closestItem KUrlNavigator uses closestItem to get the closest bookmark so as to show it as the first button in the url bar. For example, open Dolphin on the Documents bookmark, "Documents" is shown as the firstbutton in the urlbar (breadcrumb); now hide that bookmark, the urlbal should now show "Home > Documents".
