Thank you for answering, you of KDE you are always so kind and helpful. 

I don't know in which place it is best to insert these options, maybe right
click> Properties? Or in the right click list?

- Create Subvolume
Creating a separate subway has some advantages, mainly + that are excluded from
the snapshots.
Example from CLI: 
emanu at fedora ~> btrfs subvolume create test
Create subvolume './test'

emanu at fedora ~> ls -l | grep test
drwxr-xr-x. 1 emanu emanu      0  8 nov 22.27 test

- Defrag
Select a folder, you can choose to make a Defrag, useful on the database or to
comply files already written by selecting the algorithm.

- Scrub

- Compress folder or file set
Example, it can isolate you to create a suburb or set a folder with different
compression algorithm, diablaiming compression etc.
example:  btrfs property set <file> compression 

I was surprised, installing the BTRFS driver on Windows, to have all this in
the file manager.

Is it difficult for Dolphin to know if you are on a BTRFS filesystem and show
these options?
