Bug ID: 478468
Summary: Possibility to arrange window panels more freely and
productively
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 23.08.1
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

Illustration, my best use of window area
SUMMARY
Panels cannot be moved freely - to use window screen estate in most productive
way.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an information panel (to the right of a file list panel).
2. Open a terminal window - along the bottom of the Dolphin window
3. Unlock panels in order to move them
4. Try to move the info panel so that it shares horizontal space with the
terminal (i.e. split width of Dolphin window in two)
5. This is not possible (in 23.08.1)
OBSERVED RESULT
Panel cannot be moved according to best use of window area.
EXPECTED RESULT
A larger info panel - with space to view a text file (or an image) with some
more scale.
Also, the terminal window doesn't have to be so wide that it (horizontally)
covers 100% of the app window.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu: 23.10
Linux (kernel): 6.5.0-14-generic
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Since it is an everyday application it is important that one can get
comfortable with it - including using window estate in a way one finds best.
I browse and view files quite a bit - and not having to open a file in an
external app (and closing it manually) is a big advantage.
However, the info window tends to become a miniature - or if I position freely
- it covers whole horizontal space - i.e. a very wide and not very high panel.
Se my illustration for my optimal use case.
