** The Trash folder by default shows for each file when and where it was removed from.
** While searching, the results views are adjusted: For images it shows the image dimension and creation time, for audio the track author, album and duration, for a non-specific search (i.e. what happens when one does a normal search in Dolphin) the results will be shown next to their path (where they actually are) and their modification time by default.
