Hi
I’ve stripped all the menus and bookmarks off my Dolphin window. It’s like this image now:

How do I put them back on?
Thanks

I know how to get rid of “Places”, “Preview” etc. but how to remove the “File - Edit” bar?
Fumbled around a bit with dolphin, but I cannot find where the appearance of “Places” etc is set…Not in dolphinrc anyway. Can you post contents of ~/kde4/share/config/dolphinrc ? Here’s mine, from a working dolphin:

Maybe you can find a difference, that leads to the origin of dolphin sufferings.
Do you have the idea you did this yourself, or could it be some kwin / qt error as well ?
In my Dolphin there is an item “Instellingen” (Configuration?) where you can switch off Menubar, But where to switch on when it is gone?
One can of course remove the config files (like dolphinrc, are there more?) and Dolphin will create new ones, but then all the other things you configured are also gone.
Did a find in ~/.kde4, only found ./share/config/dolphinrc and ./share/apps/dolphin
Got it guys. In dolphinrc you have this entry if the menu bar is ON:
[MainWindow]
Height 900=549
MenuBar=Enabled
State=blah blah blah blah
Width 1600=964
And this if the menu bar is OFF
[MainWindow]
Height 900=549
State=blah blah blah blah
Width 1600=964
So to turn it back on again one has to edit in this line by hand:
MenuBar=Enabled
Which is of course nuts but true.
And once you have restored the menu bar, you can use the view menu to restore the shortcuts.
BTW thanks for the guidance, couldn’t have found it sans.
John, just remove ~/.kde4/share/config/dolphinrc
I forced it into your situation, it suddenly contained a line ‘Menubar=disabled’, I removed that line, no result. Removed dolphinrc, it’s back to normal, incl. saved “Places”.
Edit You found the better one 
when I was writing
Thanks, we posted simultaneously. Much like I found. But if you think about it, it’s a big design flaw IMHO.
Bwah hah! Thats a good one. Nothing like allowing a user to shoot themself in the face 
b.k.o.
Yep, this is one of those things where I cannot stop thinking that there should be a way to do this from a click in the GUI, but I cannot find it.
I’ll check on the kde forums next time I’m there.
Ctrl+M shows/hides the menu bar and after that all could be added back from the drop-down menus. You can also click with the second button of the mouse on the empty space next to the folders and there is an option “show main menu” or something like that 
In Konqueror, when you have no bars at all (sometimes websites ask a page to be shown like that and Konqui duly obeys) you can right click anywhere on the page and it will offer you to switch on the main menu. And from there you can then switch on the address bar, etc. when you like.
Dolphin should have something likewise.
Thanks for that Siminin
I noticed that to destroy all like I did in the Dolphin screenshot also destroyed my Konqueror until I fixed Dolphin.
There seems to be some coherence between the KDE apps
I’m glad I found this. I just did it to myself. It would make more sense for the option to present itself when right clicking the the toolbar area rather than the body of the app.
