SUMMARY
First, thanks for developing dolphin, I've been using it ever since it was
first included in KDE 4 and really enjoy using it.
However, there are sometimes still features that I'm missing and one of those
is the ability to lock tabs. I know this feature from Free Commander, which I
do use on Windows systems. Here, three versions can be selected, of which each
can be useful in their own way. I like this feature, because I have folders
(e.g. code folders) that I use very often and together with the ability to
rename tabs (which is also not implemented) it makes it easier and better to
keep the tabs organized.
1. Lock tab, don't allow navigation
2. Lock tab, allow navigation to subfolders
3. Lock tab, allow any navigation

The expected behavior would be the following:
- Could be implemented by context menu on tab button
- When navigation against the locking rule is requested (e.g. parent folder),
create a duplicate of the tab that is not locked and jump to that folder
- If navigation is allowed: when selecting a different tab and then going back
to the locked tab, jump back to the originally locked folder. (This is
debatable for 2., but should be the behavior for 3.)
- When attempting to close the tab, ask for verification
