Dolphin
Dolphin is a file
manager focusing on usability. You can browse, locate, open, copy and
move files with it.
It is the default file manager for the current version of KDE
(KDE
4), and can be optionally installed on KDE
3. Dolphin
is not intended to compete directly with Konqueror,
the previous default KDE
web
browser. Konqueror
acts as universal viewer being able to show HTML
pages, text documents, directories and a lot more, whereas Dolphin
focuses on being solely a highly optimized file manager.
This approach allows the software to optimize the user interface for
the task of
file management.
Features include:
- Sidebar
- Supports dockable panels for places, information, folders
and a terminal
- Breadcrumb Navigation bar for URLs which allows users to
navigate quickly through the file hierarchy
- 3 view modes (icon, list and column) with properties
remembered for each folder
- Split views designed for file copy- and move-operations
- Network transparency
- Undo/redo functionality
- Support of service menus
- Zoom from 16 x 16 pixels to 256 x 256 pixels
- Tooltips show previews
- Thumbnails
- Panel tabs
- Renaming of a variable number of selected items in one step
- Supports: SMB/CIFS, WebDAV, NFS, FTP, and SSH
- Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based
Management of Unified Knowledge (NEPOMUK) integration
