Hi Anne. I'll have to look at Dolphin again. I must admit, that the first time 
I saw it, I was a bit miffed, having used Konqueror for so long, and the 
first thing I did was to find out how to get Konqueror back as default file 
manager.

I will have another look at Dolphin. No promises as to if I'll accept it as an 
alternative to Konqueror though, which has always worked ok for me.

I suppose we do have to be open minded and give these new apps a chance to 
prove themselves as worthy replacements though.

Nigel.
