I didn't feel comfortable posting this too widely (Most HN, Slashdot, and
r/linux users don't use KDE software), but feel free to publicize as you see
fit.

I'm currently busy with work but please share those links on reddit.com/r/kde
and reddit.com/r/linux . Maybe Hackernews and Slashdot too.

There are a lot of people there (especially /r/kde, obviously) who feel like me
and may just need your motivation and help to start contributing. :)

In fact you can make a donation! https://www.kde.org/community/donations/

And also, you barely need to be a programmer to make simple code changes. I'm
rubbish at C++, but a little logical thinking and pattern recognition helps me
make small changes where I'm just substituting one thing for another, or
following a pattern to add a new thing.

Here, let me show you how, and we can make your first commit together! The
following commit added a new Genre column to Dolphin:
https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git

There are many other requests for additional columns (two of them made by
you!), and most of them amount to the same basic thing: following that pattern
exactly, but with a different word ("Bitrate" instead of "Genre", for example).

We have open bugs for:
- "Title": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366455
- "Bitrate": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368418
- "Release Year": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384317
- "Aspect Ratio" and "Frame Rate": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366524
- "Width" and "Height": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374559

Wanna fix 'em? I was gonna knock these out over the next few days but it would
be great practice for you if you want to dip your toes in the world of making
KDE Plasma even more awesome!

I know. I wish I could make a donation or help with the development, but since
I'm not a programmer all I can do is open issues. ^^ I'm actualy glad that you
picked up all those other issues I had opened about Dolphin. KDE is really a
great project and there are just a few things missing from it (for people used
to Windows).

Thanks for working hard on it.

Thanks for understanding. There is only a limited pool of development
resources, and keeping old bugs that aren't very popular does impose a cost:
more urgent or popular bugs get lost; people don't know what to prioritize;
patches get missed. As always, patches are welcome.

As I said in the title, "at least when window is maximized." When I opened this
issue, I had all window sizes in mind, and focused on maximized windows just
because I thought that would do a better job at being convincing and explaining
what I wanted.

"Worse" and "It doesn't make sense" are subjective terms. Anyway, it's always
up to the developers and project leaders to take or close issues, so I
understand that you prefer it the way it is.

IMHO that is even worse. Your "Expected result" view results in a huge amount
of awkward and ugly wasted space on the right. The real problem here is that
your window is too wide. It doesn't make sense to have a horizontally maximized
window in Details view with only three columns. Halve its size and it'll look
much better, and you'll have more space available for something else too.
