A first look at Dolphin, the KDE 4 file manager (Ars Technica)
Ars Technica looks
at Dolphin, the KDE 4 file manager. "Although Konqueror is one
of the most powerful file-management applications available on the Linux
platform, the broad scope of its functionality creates some usability
problems that aren't easily resolved. Konqueror's elaborate profile system
and support for KParts-based document viewing add complexity to file
management and intimidate users who are accustomed to less sophisticated
file managers. By focusing exclusively on file management, Dolphin avoids
many of the pitfalls inherent in Konqueror's approach. Although Dolphin is
still under development and lacks a number of critical features, early
releases illuminate the significant potential of the application. Dolphin
appears to be a well-thought compromise that will provide a more reasonable
balance of versatility and usability."
