About Dolphin
Dolphin is the default file manager for KDE focusing
on usability. The main features of Dolphin are:
- Navigation bar for URLs, which allows to navigate quickly through the file hierarchy
- View properties are remembered for each folder
- Split of views and tabs are supported
- Network transparency
- File content previews
- Support for version control system plugins
- Integrated terminal
- Searching for file content and meta information
Dolphin is not intended to be a competitor to Konqueror: Konqueror acts as universal viewer being able to show HTML pages, text documents, directories and a lot more, whereas Dolphin focuses on being only a file manager. This approach allows to optimize the user interface for the task of file management.
