File management
Dolphin 22.12
With a bit of configuration, Dolphin can scale up to a power user’s tool.
Dolphin is a fairly traditional file manager with a lot of its functionality disabled by default. On first launch, you’ll probably quickly get the gist of how to use it. The main area displays the files, and there is a second pane on the left-hand side that contains user bookmarks along with notable system locations, such as removable media, the waste bin and network locations. There’s a status bar at the bottom of the window, and this integrates the zoom slider. So far, so standard…
Traditionally, KDE applications have tended towards the needs of power users, and in our opinion, it’s a shame that Dolphin’s default layout configuration is so tame. Removing clutter is one thing, but we usually end up having to enable a few options in order to get at the more advanced features. So, let’s nerd things up a notch or two and transform Dolphin into a power user’s file manager.
