who else hates Dolphin?

Anyone else like Krusader? It even works quite nicely in gnome...

Ah, but you're talking about the 'new' Konqueror. The 4.X version
of Konqueror is neutered. They gave it the warm fuzzy Dolphin treatment.
In fact, at first blush I had a hard time telling the two programs apart.
They both crashed and had limited functions.

What I think most people are longing for is the 3.X version of Konqueror,
which I'm sure the usability folks had a book burning party with.

No worries, the nice thing about open source is it'll all be changed
tomorrow.

Indeed it is, especially the dbus scripting that lets me have command-line applications running in their own tabs at startup.

For example the following (which has some legacy cruft in it, but it ain't broke so I don't fix it):

#!/bin/sh
#
# Yakuake (KDE4 dbus)
#

if test `hostname` == gojira ; then

    yakuake &
    sleep 3
    case $(basename $WINDOWMANAGER) in
        (gnome|gnome-session)
        if test 0 == `ps -U $USER | grep xemacs | wc -l` ; then
            qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions runCommand "xemacs -nw"
            qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/tabs setTabTitle 0 XEmacs
        fi
        tabs=10
        for ((t=1; t < tabs ; t++)) ; do
            qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions addSession
            qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/tabs setTabTitle ${t} Shell
        done
        qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions raiseSession 1
        ;;
    esac

fi

# Done.

I think it's really important to get the drop-down-drop-up key binding ergonomically correct. I use control-delete.

I have to agree with the few that have posted. Konqueror was good in its time, but Dolphin is better. It took me a while to warm up to Dolphin to. A long while. For those who still insist on having Konqueror or some other file manager, look at this screenshot. It shows where you can go to change it.

Hmm... Hate is not good.

And Dolphin is fairly good. It just does not have all the features, which Konqueror 3 had. Those that I used (and continue to use) are 'Split View' (Left-Right and Top-Bottom) and 'View Profiles'.

I have a profile for photo management, where Konqueror window is split up to approximately 8-10 section. In each section relevant folder is opened, so I can sort my photos conveniently, without opening 10 Konqueror file manager instances or switching between 10 tabs.

Dolphin does not offer all that unfortunately. It is meant to be simple, as I understand. Many people like it, so it is nice that it is available and suits people who love simplicity.

But for me simplicity does not equal ease of use. Nice features make life easier for me, not their absence. That is why I use Konqueror (and KDE).

Konqueror 4 actually has 'Split View' and 'View Profiles' and these features work quite well. Though, I have a problem with 'folder filter bar'. It seems, that it is installed and plugin is enabled. I just can't find it in 4th version of Konqueror. I have found a thread KDE4 - Konqueror, what happened to "filter in folder", but other guys cannot find it either since KDE 4.1.3. And I have even submitted a bug report: Bug 547933 - KDE 4 Konqueror: dirfilter plugin not available . I have been told that 'It is available. You only need to edit Konqueror toolbars and add the item'. Of course I looked in Konqueror toolbars a dozen times before submitting bug report. But I still hope that it is available and someday I will find a way to enable it, so I could switch to Konqueror 4 and work with it just like with Konqueror 3.

By the way fish:// and sftp:// are different protocols (it has already been discussed in this forum some time ago). See:
SSH file transfer protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Files transferred over shell protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konqueror supports both. I started using sftp:// instead of fish://, as SFTP implementation seems to be less buggy (not only in Konqueror).

Hi everyone,
I really like Dolphin, I know its one of KDE4's integrated features, but I like its fresh new feel. I also haven't had any problems using it.
So yes, I like Dolphin.
