Situation: Dolphin shows a folder using a symbol for a typical paper office-folder.

If this folder contains one or more pictures Dolphin shows up to 4 miniature pictures of these ontop of the folder symbol. That's nice, but if the folder is a cd audio album it should only present the folder.jpg picture album cover and nothing else.

Proposal: Any folder should either be of 'default type' or of a defined intelligently adapted type, depending on the folder content. If a folder contains mp3 files and pictures it is probably an audio cd folder and the folder icon should automatically show the picture 'folder.jpg' within the image of a cd jewel case.

If a folder contains pictures the folder typ would be picture album.
If the folder countains pdf files it might be a documents folder or a bookshelf.

In a videos folder, there any file should have an icon according to the cover of the video dvd, e.g. for the icon of a movie called terminator.avi a picture file called terminator.png should be used within a picture like a dvd case.

Perhaps every folder type could be represented by a typical icon with content-oriented previews of the containing files.

This is surely a good suggestion!
Looking forward to see it in the future KDE
