  When you really want to go through images quickly, you're never going to be able to make it wide enough to get the kind of visual fidelity you really need, and if you try, you'll make it take over the window and there won't be any room left for the actual main view. IMHO the Information panel makes more sense as a somewhat small yet always visible provider of small previews and contextual information, not as a poor man's multi-file comparison tool.
  
  Coming from the Mac world, an instant previewer like Quick Look (or KLook! <https://phabricator.kde.org/D11875>) provides a much more efficient workflow for quickly previewing pictures than making the information Panel really wide does in Dolphin.

  No, this patch does not fix it. I discovered how to reproduce it: add the folder in the Places panel. Thereafter, the Information panel stops displaying that folder with previews. If you remove its Places item, the bug disappears and the Information Panel will once again show the folder in previewed form. I'll move this discussion into Bugzilla so we can avoid cluttering up this already-long discussion with something unrelated (my bad, sorry): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392621
