SUMMARY

I often have lots of tabs open in one window in dolphin. Sometimes these
folders will have similar/identical names, which makes it difficult to know
from the tab's title exactly where a given tab is open in the filesystem. I
therefore get lost between what windows and tabs I have open quite easily when
busy at work.

When confronted with the same situation in a web browser, I usually open a new
blank tab and use this as a makeshift spacer, to keep tabs organised in
subgroups within a window. With Dolphin, I don't believe I can do this quite as
easily, as as far as I know there isn't an equivalent to the about:blank page I
can get in Firefox. 

What I'd like to suggest, if others would find this useful too, is the ability
to open some kind of spacer tab in the window, in order to separate the other
tabs into groups. A quick mockup of what I am imagining is attached. I would
think a spacer could just be a blank section, or a darker, narrower depressed
tab in the tab list portion of the widget, optionally with a closing button. IT
oculd be possible to add a spacer with an entry alongside opening a new tab in
the File menu, or perhaps by right-clicking, dragging and organising tabs in
the list , etc.
