What looks to me easier to distinguish icons and easier to read text

SUMMARY
Dolphin's left panel could have a better default size

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot KDE Neon
2. Open Dolphin
3. Maximize Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
Even when Dolphin is maximized the size of the items in the left panel stays
the same, which is pretty small
Especially compared to the size of the items on the right panel.
Also pressing CTRL++ or CTRL +- always affects just the right panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect that the icons and the text of the items on the left panel are easier
to distinguish / read by default, at least when Dolphin is maximized or it's
tiled half screen.
An Icon size: Large (32x32) seems to me to be a better default
Icon size: Auto Resize seems to be a good default too, even though I prefer the
fixed Large size, as this one has an animation which annoys me a bit because is
a little distracting,  I rather have the large size all the time.

So, if the large size cannot be the default for all window sizes, because in
the case of too many items and small window sizes it will introduce a scroll
bar, then it would be nice if it would be the default at least for the
maximized and half-screen tiled windows.
