* Dolphin now by default shows custom information for special folders (https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/731). Examples (This is quite verbose so promo gets the point, it doesn't need to be this elaborate or at all in the announcement):
** The list of recently used files and folders shows the modification time by default and sorts by it so the most recent items are actually at the top by default. The actual location of the item on disk is also displayed.
** 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.
