--- Comment #16 from E. F. Keebler <kde.org at efkeebler.com> ---
This same issue has affected me for a long time; I was glad to find it
mentioned here, and puzzled that no one had ever followed up with a suggestion
about the source of a label that could be used in place of the full path.  In
my case, I mount numerous remote folders via sshfs, and in Dolphin these show
up under PLACES as the full local path to the mount-point I have selected,
which is useless for differentiation as the key information is the folder name
at the very end of the path (which is not visible as the path is much wider
than the Places panel).

Here's my point: Dolphin already knows the name of the innermost folder, which
would make a far better label than the full path.  If I right-click on the path
and select Properties, up comes the Properties dialog showing the name of the
folder (next to a folder icon), with the rest of the path given below (next to
"Location").  If there were a user-accessible option for the Devices section to
show the same name that is already given in the Properties dialog (when one
exists), that would be a massive usability improvement in many cases.
