Okay, so after a few days trying the new Dolphin, I'm still not used to this
change. It's even hard to navigate in the "one click opens folders" mode. I
also find the leading column padding confusing and ineffective. I can think of
two possible solutions:

1. Add one option to choose the behavior, so users can go back to previous
behavior. Maybe it would make sense to only use this new mode in "tablet mode"
and leave it as it is in "normal" mode.

2. Allow to configure the position of the "column padding". For me (and most
users), I think it would be more intuitive and easy to use to have that  column
between the name column and any additional ones (size, type, modifed, etc.). In
this way, you benefit more homogeneous areas to select folders (no matter the
name length), but you still have plenty of area to unselect with click, drag
and drop, etc.

What do you think?
