Hints, Tips and Troubleshooting
- Problem: Dolphin's menu entries 'View - Additional' and/or 'View - Panels' don't have any options. Nepomuk is enabled in System Settings.
- Solution: Rename the folder '~/.kde4/share/apps/dolphin' and restart dolphin. This will purge your dolphin customizations but the entries should be back. If everything works as expected you can then delete the folder. This happened to me after an upgrade from KDE 4.4 to 4.5
