           Summary: Labels for folder views
           Product: plasma

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: jthorell gmail com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

One thing I think is missing from the folder-view container is the ability to optionally set a label for it that's shown on top of it (kinda like the "title-bar" for the dashboard). For example, I am using four right now:

1. Points to my download folder.
2. Points to a work-in-progress, or "what I need to work on today to be able to get my reports and what not in on time"
3. Is used as a sort-of substitute for a quicklauncher applet.
4. Points at a "work in progress but with a deadline that is not yet set in stone".

1 and 3 are pretty static and does not really need a label. For number 2 I change the path and/or the filter relatively often. Number 4 is also changed occassionally but not as often as 2. The thing is, it is not always obvious which view is which of 2 and 4 since it is highly time-dependent so some sort of visual clue would be of immense value to me.
