The location bar displays the path to the current folder. The location bar has two versions. There is the typical line input version which shows the path to the current folder via a string of text &eg; <filename class="directory">/home/peter/Documents</filename>. The second version of the location bar uses the 'bread crumb' display. The bread crumb display makes each folder a link which can be used to immediately go to the entry. The <filename class="directory">/home/peter/Documents</filename> entry in the bread crumb view would become 'Home > peter > Documents' with Home, peter, and Documents being clickable links which are able go to there respective locations. This makes navigation to folderss above the current folder easier and more intuitive. It also removes the need for the <guiicon>Up</guiicon> icon to be present in the toolbar.

For example, if while viewing <filename class="directory">/home/peter/Pictures/</filename> the user choses to use the previews view, then the next time the user enters that folder, the view will be changed to the previews view. This is especially useful for folders containing mainly images. The feature only works for local folders which the user has read/write permissions to. &dolphin; will also remember the viewing mode it was in when last running &eg; single workspace or split workspace.
