I would like if the content of the README or similar named files would be displayed in the folder information in the sidebar or popover as description.

Thatâs really a developer oriented feature.
Not sure we want this in Dolphin (built-in) as rendering markdown one would imply an additional big dependency.

Could this be implemented using a plugin?

Not currently, dolphin has MANY plugin systems already, I am not eager to a add another one.

I support this idea. In our org, weâre in the process of migrating our desktops from Windows to Debian/KDE. Being able to communicate purposes and usage instructions to certain folders right in the file explorer interface would be a pretty nice feature above Explorer. Weâre seeing this in our Nextcloud Files interface, where it already proves useful.
I admittedly know nothing about Dolphins architecture yet, commenting from a pure user perspective.
Since some time ago current Dolphin versions support showing a âCommentâ field for files and folders. This is pure text only, of course, and is being saved as extended file system attributes, though, so probably not easily shareable. Not sure if the âoldâ .directory file system already supported the comment field?
This comment field has always been in extended attributes.
