<p>I'm all for going tree-style, but honestly I don't see expansion in Windows? Are we testing different versions? (In case they are fictitious, that would not help your point.)</p></div>

<p>Ah, you're right, never mind. In Windows 10, even with 8 (8!) view modes, none of them allow tree-style expansion.</p>

<p>Yes I think we should shoot for that, if possible.</p>

That would still run into the technical challenges that I outlined above though.</p></div>
</blockquote>
<p>As hinted at before, I could agree to that. However, we need more space then. How about moving <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Up</span></span></span>, i.e. only a single button, in front of the breadcrumb bar? Would help in Dolphin too, and has been seen in Windows before, while avoiding some of the problems with moving every navigation button there, like you proposed elsewhere.</p></blockquote>
<p>In fact, if we integrated the <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Up</span></span></span> button into the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KURLNavigator</tt> widget, it would solve some issues automatically (e.g. lack of up button in Gwenview). I could see some people complaining about it though, because then the navigation buttons would be in two different vertical planes (since the URL navigator is always below the toolbar). Maybe we could live with that though?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R241 KIO</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D12327">https://phabricator.kde.org/D12327</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Frameworks, VDG, rkflx<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>elvisangelaccio, abetts, Frameworks, michaelh, bruns<br /></div>
