Some of the most common organizational tasks for a typical user start with creating a new folder. We should make that easy and obvious by putting a button for it in the toolbar.

-1 to cluttering Dolphin's toolbar
Do you have any base for your "common task" claim? Next we'll get a "Show hidden files", "Terminal", "Delete" button.......
I would rather like to see a "contextual" sub toolbar below the address bar showing tasks related to the current view and/or selected item(s) like Windows Explorer has it. There we could also place the "Empty Trash" button inside Trash.

Maybe the amount of buttons is not really the issue, if they didn't have labels by default, we would have a lot more room. Thoughts?

True, but buttons without labels have worse usability--especially when they don't look like buttons until you hover over them, as is the case for ours.
Strongly agree. Alas I think that is a bit beyond my programming abilities at this point. I would like to see such a thing anywhere icons/items can be selected--File dialogs, Gwenview, Folder View, etc. This would also make these views super touch friendly and improve usability for the default single-click setting. See T8187#132928 and T8187#139062. The GNOME folks are considering doing this for Nautilus, but I think ours could be even better.
Should we abandon this effort and focus on that?
