TASK DESCRIPTION
VDG is proposing to make Dolphin look more like this mockup:
F7356467: Dolphin mockup.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F7356467>
One of the most prominent things you can see here is that we've given the URL Navigator a more Breeze-like style (Tracked with T11662 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T11662>) and moved it URL Navigator into the toolbar. The reasons are as follows:
- This makes it more obvious, and reduces (and hopefully) eliminates the desire to add an "Up" button to the default toolbar
- Consistency with the general design of other file managers which have their Breadcrumbs bar/URL input field in the toolbar
As far as I am aware, the only challenge here is handling split views. Currently, each pane of a split view gets its own URL Navigator. With this proposed redesign, we have the following options when using split mode:
1. Remove the URL Navigator from the toolbar and display one in each pane, as with the status quo
2. As 1, but disable the one in the toolbar rather than removing it entirely
3. Keep a single URL Navigator in the toolbar, but change it dynamically to show the path for the active split view
4. Other ideas?
