So, I've been playing with Gutsy pretty much since it's release. They have included the Dolphin file manager. My question is why I would want to use Dolphin when it provides similar functionality as Konqueror?
Before I posted this, I checked and yes, Dolphin CAN use the FISH protocol to browse remote SSH systems. But you have to force the address bar visible before you can do so. But the core question still remains... why Dolphin over Konqueror? What do you like about Dolphin? What do you dislike? What does it do that Konqueror doesn't? Other than a fresh appearance, I don't personally see much benefit to using Dolphin (yet, but I'm still giving it a chance :) over Konqueror. I do see that you cannot split your window horizontally, which would make more sense I think, given the default size of the icons and the cramped area when splitting vertically. And for myself, the sidebars are nice, but I'll likely hide them once I'm more comfortable with Dolphin - they just take up too much space compared to the file icons. Anyone care to offer an opinion? disclaimer: I undertand that Konqueror's code base is getting bloated due to all the bells and whistles. I also understand the enormous undertaking the Dolphin developers have taken on and largely succeeded at. But I see this argument being akin to "do you like the black model, or the grey model" - very little differences. disclaimer 2: I have adjusted the default icon sizes via the settings for Dolphin. So in terms of screen realestate, it is a little more useful for me now.
