In the side panel, where the places and network items are, it would be really helpful if we could also see recent locations we've been. I'm not sure it is a part of Dolphin, but this would also be extremely helpful in the save dialogs, where we are saving to multiple folders. In both cases, it basically would give us one-click access to some of the most useful locations.
And just to clarify, I know there is a recent locations link, but in this case, I mean an actual list of, say the last 10 or so folders we saved something to or opened a file in.
What's wrong with clicking on the "Recent Locations" item in the sidebar?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > What's wrong with clicking on the "Recent Locations" item in the sidebar? It isn't that there isn't anything "wrong" with it, but there would be benefits to a separate section: 1. Recent files doesn't always appear is KDialog 2. Having a list, like we do for Network, would be more consistent 3. It would be more user friendly. Currently, you can't rearrange the side panels, so it is already a scroll and two clicks to get inside of a recent folder, as opposed to it just appearing when you are looking at the dialog.
#1 is a bug which we can and should fix. :) See Bug 415019. #2 is not really applicable as it is a different type of UI. Consistency between the same things in different contexts is desirable; consistency between different things in a similar context generally is not. For #3 I understand what you mean, but I think if we fixed Bug 415019, it would probably solve 90% of the problem without adding a whole ton of new custom code. Marking as a duplicate of Bug 415019, and once that's fixed, we can see if there's anything left to do to improve things. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 415019 ***
