File dialog in KDE/Plasma 5 (started from Okular) with bookmarks dropdown expanded

The current dialog presents a list of "favorites" but labels this as places. Normal file dialogs show places but those are rather default folders like Home, Network, Root, Trash etc. Favorites are presented in a dropdown (at least at KDE). 

My suggestion is to show places and favorites, separately in two lists. Places should be similar to what is shown in the normal OS dialog, favorites would be the editable part with +/- (and perhaps edit as in master). The minus has to get disabled when nothing is selected to delete, the + when there is nothing to add, for instance the current folder/address was added before and would be a duplicate.

Internal file dialog hasn't changed, issue remains valid.

Closing my own ticket as WONTFIX. Tinkering with a replacement to native dialogs is always doomed, and we plan to retire this feature (or probably strip down every non-essential function), see bug 114484.
