I have been thinking for a while how we can improve the Places panel in Dolphin. One of the things that are quite obvious to me is the waste of space that having 4 "recently accessed" entries produces. My proposal is to replace these 4 entries with a timeline similar to what can be found in Active: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cH3zgOyoj6I/UG9jzkVIhXI/AAAAAAAAAD4/-wpUAk6C_Qc/w497-h373/pa3_filebrowser.png Do not mind the design, we will have to design something specific for Dolphin. What matters from the screenshot is the concept of having a navigable way of browsing files based on a timeline from the very beginning. Done this, we will be able to replace those 4 entries by 1, making room for more awesome like "PC near you". What do you think? If you like the idea I can cook a mockup or even better we can ask some usability guru to do it and think about it.
