            Bug ID: 366074
           Summary: Better Create new folder default: `date` instead of
                    'New Folder'
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: c....@gmx-topmail.de

Pressing F10 triggers the action 'Create new Folder'.
The Default Name is 'New Folder'. I most cases this is not useful. I often see
things like

New Folder
New Folder1
New Folder2

in the file hierarchy of friends and colleagues (and in my old backups). People
are sometimes too lazy to choose a meaningful folder name. Later this leads to
a cluttered home dir and sometimes frustration. I think it would be useful to
provide a name which contains more information. IMHO the approach to choose
folder names like <yyyy-mm-dd>-<project-name> (e.g.
2016-07-25-thesis-review-julia) for ad hoc projects is very useful to reduce
cluttering.

Therefore I suggest to make the default name of a new folder dependent on the
current date
in the format <yyyy-mm-dd>.

Examples I would like (in this order):

2016-07-25-New-Folder
2016-07-25
2016-07-25_New_Folder
2016-07-25 New Folder

Personal Opinion: I do not like spaces in names of files/dirs because it
sometimes complicates things on the command line.

Reproducible: Always
