I am not really asking for this feature to be implemented, rather I had an idea and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on this. I am 90% confident I could in case get accustomed with Dolphin’s code base and implement that mechanic myself. I rather want to see if other people do see benefits with this. > For instance scrolling is now really harder to follow with three different > stating points in the list.

Scrolling behaviour would actually be the same as before, just that we are simulating a longer screen than we actually have. > You can achieve denser display of files with the compact view, especially > when you have short file names. but even then you have an option to limit > each filename width in the settings. I am aware of this. But I don‘t think having as much density as possible is the goal. I personally don’t work well will compact and symbol view, since I have some visual processing issues, and structured views like the detail view make it much easier for me to handle information. But then for me the detail view on large screens just becomes extremely sparse. And there are good reasons for this: The visual spread between file name and information makes it really hard on the brain to parse a single line a connected unit (which is the reason why wide bodies of text become hard to read). It just seems to me there is something missing between having 50 files on your whole screen, and having 600 files on your screen. And yes, I am bringing this up because it is an issue that affects me, but really because I think that something like this might be nice way in the middle. If this is not the correct place to discuss such ideas I sorry for taking this to the wrong place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
