I am struggling with Finder after switching to Mac from linux. Dolphin was just a much more powerful file manager. Features I miss: - easily editable URL to navigate (although fixed that with Finder Path). - embedded terminal window (very important to me) - tree view - ability to navigate easily without using the mouse - stay on top feature by KDE window manager I've tried Double Commander, but I still don't find it very intuitive, e.g. see no way to just type/edit the url to where I want to go. So I did read <https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-users/2010-May/020074.html> that I could run Dolphin via Macports: dolphin is a rather nice file browser. the impression that i get from here http://dolphin.kde.org/is that one is to install kdebase4. done. so where is dolphin? According to "port contents kdebase4 | grep -i dolphin", there is a dolphin.app in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4. My question though: If I have to install kdebase4, doesn't that mean a huge amount of overhead just for a file manager? Will it actually run X? Does the installation command above install the whole thing? -- Dorien Herremans, PhD Marie-Curie Fellow http://dorienherremans.com Queen Mary University of London School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science C4DM - Centre for Digital Music, London Workshop on Deep Learning and Music <http://dorienherremans.com/dlm2017>, May'17 Anchorage, Alaska.
