Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostI couldn't live without a "new tab" and "open terminal here" buttons. It's always annoying to me that they are not in the main toolbar by default (although adding them is easy, it's still additional configuration required).
To be on the safe side, the best bet is to put every single option in the main toolbar: it will even makes things cleaner as we wouldn't need the menu bar anymore.

Originally posted by Daktyl198 View PostI like that Dolphin has a lot of options, but it doesn't need to have all of those options front and center by default (which make it behave completely different from 90% of the file managers out there).
Originally posted by Daktyl198 View PostNemo has options (not as many as Dolphin, but definitely more than Nautilus AKA Files) but they don't shove them in your face. They are there if you want/need them, but by default it gives you a very simple and plain file manager. I think this is a great approach :P

Originally posted by erendorn View PostYep. Any option that at least one user wants in his main toolbar should be put in the toolbar by default, to reduce configuration needs.

Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostNah, I tried both Nemo and Thunar and both are just bad.
Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostHow would users discover them? Clicking on the X button to close a panel is always easy. Discovering that the panel exists in the first place is not.
Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostThen use Nemo instead of whining about Dolphin. Why did you switch at all when you like Nemo more?
Though, if we really wanted to get into it (which I don't), I could go ahead and say Dolphin's clutter problem is caused by being a KDE application... I've noticed a similar problem throughout the DE >.<
Anyway, I can't wait to try out KDE5. It seems like it will be a great step forward.

Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostThat wasn't the point. The point was that if you have oft-used features that enhance the use of the application a great deal, you're not supposed to hide them. Functionality is better than completely clean looks, especially given the high resolutions of today.
You can put all the buttons, and go the ribbon way, or hide them all and let users config their toolbars. The best is probably to make your apps send back usage statistics. But guessing users workflow based on your own one is not really the best way to design UI.
