Project Summary
Dolphin is a file manager for KDE focusing on usability. The main features of Dolphin are:
* Navigation bar for URLs, which allows to navigate quickly through the file hierarchy.
* View properties are remembered for each folder.
* Split of views is supported.
* Network transparency.
* Undo functionality.
* Renaming of a variable number of selected items in one step.
Dolphin is not intended to be a competitor to Konqueror: Konqueror acts as universal viewer being able to show HTML pages, text documents, directories and a lot more, whereas Dolphin focuses on being only a file manager. This approach allows to optimize the user interface for the task of file management.
