SUMMARY We currently have a column for sorting files into path, but these paths can be very long and require scrolling left and right. I do a lot of document management with a lot of sub-folders and this can slow me down. It would be nice to have a column that just shows the folder that the file is in, not the entire path of the file. I've seen this function in Windows and it was more useful for me than a full path column. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open folder in Details View Mode 2. Right click columns, Other, Paths OBSERVED RESULT Paths option can be very long with a lot of sub-folders, especially folders with long names EXPECTED RESULT Folders option that shows only the name of the folder that the file is housed in without the rest of the path SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is obviously a feature request, not a bug report. I hope this is the right forum for this request.
