    Dolphin is an adaptable, lightweight file manager for navigating and managing your files and folders. Allows you to drag and drop files between views and perform quick actions like compressing, sharing and duplicating files via a right-click menu. Works seamlessly with Internet cloud services and other remote machines, and comes with an integrated terminal and powerful plugins to further enhance your workflow.... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Linux software list. Discussion and advice welcome!
    You should rename Dolphin on the list to either Dplphin Emulator or Dolphin-emu. "Dolphin" by itself is more commonly known as KDE's file browser app https://apps.kde.org/dolphin/ and is also a good app, highly recommending that one. Source: about 1 year ago
  • KIO S3 wont install
    Just trying to install it from the install link on https://apps.kde.org/dolphin. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is there a way to make "Open Folder"/"Show in Filemanager" to open the filepath in terminal?
    How about Dolphin . You open it and get the terminal opened in the bottom by pressing F4. Source: over 1 year ago
