Come on. I'm not a developer but it's really a no-brainer that no one will ever be \
motivated to fulfill your wish if you tell him he's giving you crap. 

I think you're right with what you're saying that almost every app in KDE features \
tabs and it would be great to have them included in Dolphin but if you piss off \
developers it will eventually take even longer. Matter of fact, we're still talking \
about a x.0 release here and it's clear that there are missing features in some \
programs.



Regarding the requested examples for use cases: I have my files split in several \
directories like in /data /mp3s /musicvideos and of course /home/user When I look for \
stuff, I of course have to browse through these directories. Having split view \
doesn't really make sense because I only want to see the content of one folder at a \
time and not be distracted by another folder. Jumping back and forth between \
directories is also not an option since they're quite well organized and I have \
several subdirectories. So the only option remaining is having several dolphin \
windows open which is extremely inconvenient, once you've become used to the comfort \
that tabs provide. No one who ever used them in firefox will be voluntarily going \
back to open different windows.

So please add tabs to dolphin asap. It will make a very good program even greater. \
You can also keep them deactivated as default and just offer one extra menu in the \
settings section. No average Joe will ever notice anything different.
