Maybe I am blind but I wonder how it is possible to create a new folder now in KDE 6. If I click on "Create new", the list of all the folders of my home directory appears and there is a no choice to create a new folder. If I chose one of the folders and a name, a directory is created with a copy of the files in the original directory.
How is this possible ? Why such a basic operation has become so compilcated ?
Here is a link to a screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/eUxsPV6eogiW.png


Has anyone also noticed this ?

I cannot replicate this. In Dolphin, when selecting File > +Create New > and then clicking on the top item 'Folder . . . CTRL+SHIFT+ N' a dialog box pops up --
'Create New Folder - Dolphin'. There is a editable dialog box as well that uses the default folder name 'New Folder' that is highlighted allowing for editing of the new folder name. You can also do this by right clicking anywhere on the display pane and selecting create new from the context menu.

If you have a lot of directories/folders in the current directory, the top item in the context menu 'Folder . . . CTRL+SHIFT+N' may not be visible depending on your display resolution or scaling. Try creating the new directory in an empty directory ( or one that contains fewer to no items) and moving it to where you would like as a workaround.

You can also hit 'F4' to open a terminal in Dolphin at the current directory location and use 'mkdir <foldername>' to create the directory manually.
