[kde-linux] Dolphin vs. Konqueror

[alan c]

Although I do not see a tree view, I find that dolphin as offered in 
kubuntu to date is more useful than it first appeared, and I will not 
go back to konquerer again unless for occasional use.

I have set my dolphin for details, and I can easily see the full 
location, even though, like you, I have not got quite the same options.

My settings are

Settings>configure Dolphin>General>details
(optional click on the Browse/Edit Location button which is just to 
the left of the Home icon, (just above the Name Heading)).
View>left sidebar (only)

If I am doing simple file transfers I use the split screen.

I was initially dismayed at being presented with dolphin, but I stayed 
with it to try to find out why it had been introduced. I  know now. It 
is a simple, fairly lightweight app which can be used with minimum 
confusion.
I am happy with Dolphin an dI trust it will remain a simple lean app.
