Dolphin 2.0 will get a new view-engine with the
following improvements:
- Better performance
- Animated transitions
- No clipped filenames due to dynamic item-sizes
- Grouping support for all view-modes
- Non-rectangular selection areas
- Simplified code for better maintenance
More details will be provided in a blog-entry during
the next days.
Please note that the code is in a very
early alpha-stage and although the most tricky parts
have been implemented already very basic things like
drag and drop or selections have not been pushed yet.
Those things are rather trivial to implement but this
still will take some time.
Using Dolphin in default mode in master/4.7 whithout menubar the user has no actions to report a bug or switch language.
Add these missing actions the Help menu launched from the toolbar button Configure and control Dolphin.

Previous state: When the terminal is hidden, the cwd is not updated
anymore. If it was on a removable device when hiding, the hidden
terminal might prevent unmounting this device.
This patch fixes that bug by changing the cwd to "/" when hiding the panel.

FIXED-IN: 4.7.0
If the Search Panel is shown outside the context of the "Find" mode it
will be always enabled and does a global search. Only if the user is in
the "Find" mode and the searching is restricted to the current directory
the Search Panel might get disabled if the current directory is not
indexed. This solves the major usability issue that it was not clear
for the users whether a global or restricted search is done.
A possible crash in one Dolphin window should not result in crashing
other Dolphin windows. Beside this it also prevents issues with
modal dialogs or notifications.

It got accidently lost during the menu-button changes. Also the
clearStatusBar() calls have been removed as this is handled in the
DolphinViewContainer internally since a long time already.
Use a similar default UI like in Rekonq and other browsers: Hide the
menubar and add access to all actions by a button in the toolbar.
Of course it is still possible to show the menubar so that the same UI
is given like before.
The search panel must get a hint whether clicking on the facets should result in searching everywhere or from the current folder. It is not sufficient to check the search-settings of the "Find:"-box, as when the "Find:"-box is invisible there is no hint for the user what kind of searching is done and the setting must be ignored.
When Dolphin is started with a directory as argument unnecessary reload operations of KDirListers are done. The patch improves this by just letting the DolphinView internally do a loading as soon as it gets visible (and without reloading). Also in case if only one directory is passed as argument the current tab gets reused instead of creating new tabs and removing the current tab.
Thanks a lot to David Faure for pointing out this unefficient handling.
Most developers seem to prefer
if (ptr) ...
if (!ptr) ...
in comparison to
if (ptr != 0) ...
if (ptr == 0) ...
Adjusted the Dolphin-code to use the "most-prefered style" to make contributors happy.
The filter-panel should be disabled if the current folder is not indexed at all. Also when triggering a "Find" the filter-panel should stay invisible per default when the current folder is not indexed.
