Dealing with files in dolphin by drag and drop is quiet nice but there is room for improvement.
Especially for file moving with the folder hierarchy in ONE dolphin window only:

In dolphin you can take a file, move with it over a folder, the folder opens..., then you go over a folder within,.it opens same way, ... at the place you wanted to go you drop your file,that was ist ...
BUT(!) how to go back if you went erroneously to deep with the file-icon attached to your corsor?

You can go easyly the described way to deeper levels within in the folder hierarchy but I miss a functional icon within the file-icon-area similar to the ".." symbol in the midnight commander with the help of which I can move a file to a higher folder level, simply by moving the file-icon over it and waiting a subsecond, similar to the folder-hierarchy-go-down-way. With such an go-up-icon it would be possible to reach every level within the entire folder hierarchy IN ONE WINDOW by ONLY DRAGGING the file-icon without the need two windows or clip-boarding etc.

What about the breadcrumb? If you mouse over the little arrow in a directory you get a list of sub directories where you can copy/move/... to
So instead of creating a whole new icon the breadcrumb could be used by waiting a second on a certain item to move to a higher level map.

I agree with sheep, this is less flexible than the breadcrumb bar.
