If you put the mouse over this area you will see a blinking

use a search engine to discover it.
Lucky you. :-) I had to use a mailing list to find out about it.
Since
it's an USB key it will be in the Places panel ;)
Otherwise, there is no need to configure, just click right of the
hierarchy which is where the location bar should be. It converts
this hierarchy to a real location bar.
Ooh, black magic. I love that in my desktop environment. Who cares
about discoverability? I'll just randomly click on everything until
I see what I want. </rant> </sarcasm>
Honestly when I tried KDE4 I was willing to put up with the hideous
ugliness of the whole thing, and the fact that it wasted my screen
space, if the UI was just discoverable. I was even willing to redo
the themes, widgets, etc. until I discovered just how much of a
discoverability nightmare the entire UI had become. Users having to
resort to using Google to find out the new way of doing simple tasks
is a Very Bad Sign. BTW, I don't use Dolphin regularly since I do most
of my file
management with bash/coreutils/etc.
Did you always use Bash, or did you ever use the old Konqueror regularly?
I am just curious here.
