--- Comment #9 from John Veness <john....@pelago.org.uk> ---
At the moment there is an inconsistency in Dolphin. Attempting to create a
folder called "aaa/bbb" will bring up info text:

   Using slashes in folder names will create sub-folders, like so:
   aaa/
       bbb/

But attempting to create a new text file called "aaa/bbb.txt" will actually
create "aaa⁄bbb.txt", silently replacing the slash character with a near
lookalike.

I don't like the inconsistency between the two procedures, and I particularly
don't like the silent replacement of the current Create New Text File
procedure.

I suggest that the Create New Text File (etc.) procedure should work the same
as Create New Folder, i.e. if the user enters a "/" in the new file name, it
would show the info text and make a folder hierarchy if the user continues.

I suppose there *might* be some people who regularly create new files with "/"
in the name and like the fact that it automatically changes to "⁄" rather than
creating a hierarchy, but I doubt there's many. They can always manually type
in "⁄" if necessary. (https://unicodeplus.com/U+2044).
