SUMMARY

I often have lots of tabs open in one window in dolphin. Sometimes these folders will have similar/identical names, which makes it difficult to know from the tab's title exactly where a given tab is open in the filesystem. I therefore get lost between what windows and tabs I have open quite easily when busy at work.

When confronted with the same situation in a web browser, I usually open a new blank tab and use this as a makeshift spacer, to keep tabs organised in subgroups within a window. With Dolphin, I don't believe I can do this quite as easily, as as far as I know there isn't an equivalent to the about:blank page I can get in Firefox. 

What I'd like to suggest, if others would find this useful too, is the ability to open some kind of spacer tab in the window, in order to separate the other tabs into groups. A quick mockup of what I am imagining is attached. I would think a spacer could just be a blank section, or a darker, narrower depressed tab in the tab list portion of the widget, optionally with a closing button. IT oculd be possible to add a spacer with an entry alongside opening a new tab in the File menu, or perhaps by right-clicking, dragging and organising tabs in the list , etc.
