This idea is an improvement on the column view in Dolphin. Normally, with the column view, you are limited to only seeing columns that are subfolders of the folder you first activated column view in. If you want to get to a higher folder, you must navigate up and re-enable column view. This has the disadvantage of enabling column-view for that folder until you change it. My idea is to put a box around the breadcrumbs of the folders currently shown in column view:



The left edge of this box can be dragged left or right to include or exclude levels from the column view. Below you can see the result of dragging the box so it includes more folders:



This could also be useful for details view if you enable folder expanders in that view.
