Get familiar with dolphin
Dolphin is the default file manager of the KDE Software Complication. In this chapter , we'll show you how to use Dolphin to do common file managing tasks.
The UI of Dolphin:
There are something special :
Navigation bar: The navigation bar is quite different from the ones in MS Windows. You can use the navigation in a fast and precise way. And we'll tell you how to use it in the next section.
View mode:There are many view modes provided. The differences among them and the way to use them will be told in the third section.
Places panels:There is a new concept of bookmarks in KDE SC4 called places. You can open them in the current folder view just by clicking them.
Information panels:This panel displays a preview or an icon of the currently selected file/folder or of the file/folder below the mouse cursor. You may also use this panel to rate the files if you open the semantic desktop.
The size of the icons:Just use this to change the size of the icons.
There is a new concept to use the navigation bar in a faster and more precise way: therefore a breadcrumb navigation bar is used. Instead of displaying the complete path only the navigation points starting from one of the places are displayed as buttons. Just click one of them , you can go back to this folder quickly. In this way , you can reach a parent folder from a sub folder in an easy way.
Between these buttons which represent a folder there is a small arrow.Click the arrow , and you will see all the subdirectories on the same level. Then , you can switch to the folder by click it.
Of course , if you want to edit the location , just click at the end of all the buttons. When you are finished , you can click the hook-like button.
