I'm still busy fixing the fallout from the last patch similarly adding unwanted/broken entries, so please help out if you must add this globally. Note this is not only about Gwenview, but a lot of other apps using `KFilePlaces` are not interested in some of the entries either.

Same for "Pictures" vs. "Images". Maybe I could live with that if this only appeared if Baloo was turned off.

Those are highly specialized folders in my experience, depending on user's workflows and not something we could predict. Better leave some space so users can customize themselves.

  I disagree about the search entries - they are incredibly useful, again for lay users, or just those with not much time, searching for an image, document, or pdf - not knowing which folder they are in - are incredibly common tasks that warrant prime location for all to discover.
