# The &dolphin; Handbook

## Introduction

&dolphin; is &kde;'s default file manager. It aims to improve usability at the user interface level. &dolphin; focuses only on being a file manager whereas &konqueror;, which was &kde;'s default file manager in &kde; 3 and can still be used for file management, is a universal viewer for many file types.

This development approach allows for concentrating on optimizing the user interface for the specific task of file management.

Please report any problems or feature requests to the &dolphin; author via the bug report dialog. This is accessible either from the Configure and control &dolphin; button at the right of the toolbar in the default mode without menu bar; or from Help Report Bug... menu of the application, if the menubar is shown.

## Using &dolphin;

### &dolphin; User Interface

The screenshot below shows &dolphin;'s default user interface:

&dolphin;'s default user interface.

The elements of the default user interface are:

- The toolbar, which can be used for quick access to frequently used actions. The toolbar can be customized by clicking it with the &RMB; and choosing Configure Toolbars... from the context menu, with Configure Toolbars... from the Configure and control &dolphin; button at the right of the toolbar or via Settings Configure Toolbars... from the main menu.

  Screenshot of &dolphin;'s toolbar The default toolbar.

  Toolbar items where the icon is sufficient for knowing the command do not have a text alongside the icons. This can be changed by a &RMB; click and selecting the item text below Show Text. The Configure and control &dolphin; button at the right side of the toolbar is only displayed if the menubar is hidden.

- The location bar, which always displays the path to the current folder. It can be switched between two different modes, see the section on the location bar for details.

- The view, which shows all files and folders in the current folder.

- The Places panel, which provides quick access to bookmarked locations and disks or other media. A &RMB; click opens the context menu to edit, add, hide or remove entries.

- The status bar. It displays the name, size and type of the file which is currently hovered with the mouse, or the number and size of the files which are selected. At the right, there is a zoom slider that permits to adjust the size of the icons in the view.

- The menu bar (hidden by default), which provides access to all commands and configuration options. See the Command Reference for a list of all menu commands. The menu bar can be toggled with Show Menubar from the Settings menu or the Configure and control &dolphin; button (&Ctrl;M).

- The additional Information, Folders, Terminal and Search panels are hidden by default, for more information see Panels.

### The &dolphin; View

#### Using the View

The view displays all files and folders in the current folder. These items can be accessed or manipulated in different ways:

- A file or folder can be opened by clicking it with the &LMB; (or double-clicking, if Double-click to open files and folders is enabled in the Navigation section of the settings).

- Clicking any item or the white area around the items with the &RMB; opens a context menu which provides access to many frequently used actions for the item or the current folder, respectively.

- If the &LMB; is pressed on an item, but not immediately released, the item can be dragged and dropped in another folder in the current view or in another &dolphin; view (in another &dolphin; window or in the same window if the view is split, see below) to move or copy it or to create a symbolic link. Items can even be dropped in another application to open them in this application.

&dolphin; remembers the history of visited folders. To navigate backward or forward in the history, the corresponding buttons in the toolbar can be used: Screenshot of &dolphin;'s toolbar The Back and Forward buttons in the toolbar.

The Back and Forward buttons in the toolbar can be used to navigate in the history.

#### &dolphin; View Appearance

The toolbar contains buttons to control the appearance of the view:

Screenshot of &dolphin;'s toolbar The buttons in the toolbar which control the appearance of the view.

The buttons in the toolbar which control the appearance of the view.

All the settings discussed below and other options concerning, ⪚, the sorting of the files in the current folder can also be modified in the View menu and in the View Properties dialog. By default, these settings are remembered for each folder separately. This behavior can be changed in the General section of the settings.

##### View Modes

The first three buttons in the above screenshot switch between &dolphin;'s view modes.

- In the Icons view, which is the default, files will be represented by an icon that visualizes the file type, and a folder icon will be shown for subfolders. The names of folders and files are displayed below the icons.

- The Compact view shows the folder contents as icons with the name beside it grouped in columns similar to the Short View in the &kde; file dialog.

- In the Details view, the folder contents are displayed as a detailed list which contains the name, size and last modification time of each item. Additional columns can be added by clicking a column header with the &RMB;.

  The details view permits to view the current directory in a tree-like fashion: Each subfolder of the current folder can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the < or v icon next to it.

Grouped View Grouped View

All view modes support grouping by the sort type selected in View Sort by

##### Preview

If Preview is enabled, the icons are based on the actual file or folder contents. E.g., for images a scaled down preview of the image is shown.

##### Split

If Split is clicked, two views are shown which can display the contents of different folders. This can be convenient for moving or copying files.

#### Selecting Items in the View

There are several ways to select items in the view. Once a group of items is selected, all actions, such as Cut, Copy, Move to Trash, and drag and drop operations, affect all selected items.

##### Selecting Items Using the Mouse

- You can press the &LMB; somewhere in the view and draw a rectangle around a group of items before releasing the button. This will select all items in the rectangle and clear the previous selection. If the &Shift; key is pressed during the selection process, the previous selection is kept.

- If the &Ctrl; key is pressed while an item is clicked with the &LMB;, the selection state of this item is toggled. If the &Ctrl; key is pressed while a rectangle is drawn around a group of items as described above, the selection state of all items in the rectangle will be toggled.

- If the &Shift; key is pressed while an item is clicked with the &LMB;, all items between the previous current item and the clicked item will be selected.

- If Show selection marker is enabled in the Behavior tab of the General section of the settings, a small + or - button appears in the top left corner of the item which is currently hovered with the mouse. Clicking this sign selects or deselects the item, respectively.

##### Selecting Items Using the Keyboard

- If an arrow key, Page Up, Page Down, Home, or End is pressed, the new current item is selected, and the previous selection is cleared.

- If the &Ctrl; key is held while one of the above keys is pressed, the selection remains unchanged.

- If the &Shift; key is held while one of the above keys is pressed, all items between the previous current item and the new current item will be selected.

- If &Ctrl;Space is pressed, the selection state of the current item is toggled.

- &Ctrl;A selects all items in the view.

- &Ctrl;&Shift;A toggles the selection state of all items in the view.

### Location Bar

The location bar, which can be found on top of &dolphin;'s view, displays the path to the current folder. The location bar has two modes.

#### Bread Crumb Mode

In the bread crumb mode, which is the default, each folder name in the path to the current folder is a button which can be clicked to quickly open that folder. Moreover, clicking the > sign to the right of a folder opens a menu which permits to quickly open a subfolder of that folder.

#### Editable Mode

When in bread crumb mode, clicking in the grey area to the right of the path with the &LMB; switches the location bar to the editable mode, in which the path can be edited using the keyboard. To switch back to bread crumb mode, click the check mark at the right of the location bar with the &LMB;.

Screenshot of the location bar in editable mode Location bar in editable mode.

#### Places and Context

If the Places panel is hidden; in both modes an additional icon in front of the path is displayed. This icon can be clicked with the &LMB; to open a menu which offers quick access to places and storage media. See the section about the Places Panel for details.

Location bar with Places icon Location bar with Places icon

The context menu of the location bar offers action to switch between the modes and to copy and paste the path using the clipboard. Check the last option in this context menu to display either the full path starting with the root folder of the file system or to display the path starting with the current places entry.

Location bar context menu Location bar context menu

### Panels

&dolphin; allows a number of panels to be placed next to the view. These can be enabled in View Panels. By unlocking the panels and clicking and dragging a panel title, the panel can be moved to a different position, even outside the window.

#### Places

The Places panel is located at the left of the window by default. The Places panel shows any locations you have bookmarked. It also shows any disk or media attached to the computer.

The easiest way to add a folder to the Places panel is to drag it and drop it in the panel. Moreover, you can click inside the panel with the &RMB; and choose Add Entry... from the context menu.

#### Information

The Information panel shows extended information about the selected items(s) or about of the current folder or the file which is currently hovered with the mouse, including size, type, and date of last modification. It also features a large preview of the selected item and permits to assign a rating, tags, and comments to it.

#### Folders

The Folders panel shows a tree view structure of the file system. It only shows folders. Clicking a folder with the &LMB; opens this folder in the &dolphin; view.

#### Terminal

This panel contains a terminal. The terminal will open at the folder currently shown in the &dolphin; view. Changing the folder in the active &dolphin; view will update the working folder of the terminal. The terminal only works with local media. Note: Changing folder in the terminal will not affect the &dolphin; view.

#### Search

The Search panel provides a very comfortable way for the user to shrink the number of search results in combination with the Find bar.

But you can use it also stand-alone to find ⪚ all pictures changed the last week, with any rating and tagged with holidays.

To start a search select one or more file types (Documents, Audio, Video, Images), a time period, rating and tag, if you have defined any.

This feature requires running Nepomuk and Strigi services, you can check your system setup in the Desktop Search module in the &systemsettings; category Workspace Appearance and Behavior.

### Quick Tips

The following are a number of tips to save time when using &dolphin;.

#### Quick Bookmarking

To quickly create a bookmark in the Places panel for the current folder, right click in the work space and click Add to Places in the context menu.

#### Finding Files and Searching in Files

&dolphin; is capable of searching for files and for content in files. If &Ctrl;F is pressed or Edit Find... is used, the Find bar will open already set up to search for files within the current folder and any sub-folders. Start to type into the find input box and the search starts immediately. Search files and for content in files Search files and for content in files

&dolphin; searching files and for content in files.

The search is case insensitive, and does not require surrounding wildcards (`*foo*` and `foo` are equivalent), but you can use wildcards inside the search term. `*` will match one or more characters, `?` only one single character.

This feature can be used with running nepomuk/strigi services, without these services a KIOSlave is launched to provide the search results.

The option from Everywhere with activated Nepomuk/Strigi services searches in all indexed folders, without Nepomuk/Strigi this option starts the search from the user's `Home` folder.

Alternatively you can use the search panel to find files using Nepomuk or limit the search to selected files.

#### Mounting Storage Media

A quick way to mount Storage Media is to click on the device in the Places panel. This will mount and open the device in &dolphin;.

#### Undo Actions

&dolphin; is capable of undoing changes you have made to files. For example if you moved a file to the Trash, &dolphin; can undo this and move it back to its original location. To undo an action, press &Ctrl;Z or select Edit Undo: (action name) in the menu, ⪚ Undo: Rename.

#### Renaming A Batch Of Files

&dolphin; is capable of renaming a number of files at the same time. Each file will have the file name specified, including a number, ⪚, Image1.jpg, Image2.jpg, Image3.jpg. This can be useful, ⪚, for pictures taken with a digital camera.

If you wish to rename a batch of files, first select the files to be renamed. This can be done by pressing the &LMB; and drawing a rectangle around the files to be renamed before releasing it, or by holding &Ctrl; and clicking each file to be renamed (see Selecting Items in the View for more details on item selection). Then open the batch-rename dialog by pressing F2 or via the File menu: File Rename... .

Then enter the name you wish to give the files. The # character must be present within the name. The files will then be renamed, where the # character is replaced by a different number for each file.

#### Comparing A Selection Of Files

If the &kompare; application is installed, you can use it to see the differences between two files.

First select the two files to be compared. Then launch the &kompare; application via the Tools menu: Tools Compare Files . &kompare; will then open showing the differences between the files.

#### Filtering Files

&dolphin; is capable of filtering files, &ie;, showing only those items in the view whose name contains a given text. For example, if you wish to show only the MP3 files within a folder, you could filter for .mp3. This would then filter out all files whose name does not contain .mp3.

To filter files, first enable the filter bar, either by pressing &Ctrl;I or via the menu: Tools Show Filter Bar . You can then enter the text to be filtered in the filter bar. The filter bar can be disabled either by pressing &Esc;, or with a &LMB; click on the Hide Filter Bar icon.

## Configuring &dolphin;

&dolphin; distinguishes two different kinds of settings:

- Settings which affect the general behavior of &dolphin;. These can be configured using the Preferences Dialog.

- Settings which determine how the contents of a folder are displayed in &dolphin;. These settings are called View Properties and can be controlled with toolbar buttons, via the View menu, and with the View Properties Dialog. In the default configuration, the view properties are remembered for each folder, but &dolphin; can also be configured to use common view properties for all folders in the General section of the settings.

### The &dolphin; Preferences Dialog

The Preferences Dialog is opened via Settings Configure &dolphin;... in the menu in &dolphin;'s main window. The settings are divided into several groups which can be accessed by clicking the corresponding icon on the left of the dialog.

#### Startup

This group contains settings which control the appearance of &dolphin; on startup. Screenshot of the Startup settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog Startup Settings.

Startup Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

- The Home Folder is the folder which is opened on startup. The location of the folder can be entered directly or chosen in a dialog which can be opened by clicking the button showing a folder icon. Moreover, the current location or the default location (which is the user's home folder) can be used as the Home Folder by clicking the corresponding button.

- Split View Mode controls if the &dolphin; view is split on startup or not.

- Editable location bar controls if the location bar is in editable mode on startup. The bread crumb mode of the location bar is used otherwise. See the section about the location bar for details about the two modes.

- If Show full path inside location bar is enabled, the full path of the current location is shown in the bread crumb mode of the location bar. Otherwise, a shortened version of the path is shown if it begins with the path of one of the places in the Places panel.

- Show filter bar controls if the filter bar is shown on startup or not. See the section on the filter bar for details.

#### View Modes

This group contains settings which control the behavior of &dolphin;'s view modes. The three view modes (Icons, Compact, and Details) are accessible via the tab bar on top. Screenshot of the Icons View settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog View Modes Settings.

View Modes Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

##### Common settings for all view modes

All three view modes have some common settings:

- Sliders which control the size of the icons. The Default or Preview sizes are used if previews are disabled or enabled, respectively. Note that the icon size can be changed easily with the zoom slider in the status bar if the corresponding option is enabled in the General section of the settings.

- A setting for the font used in the view mode: either the system font or a custom font can be chosen.

The settings which apply to only one of the view modes are discussed below.

##### Icons

Besides the common settings of all view modes, the icons view has the following settings:

- In the Text section:

  - Text Width controls the maximum width that is reserved for the text of a file item.

#### Navigation

This group contains settings which control how navigation in the folder structure and in archives works. Screenshot of the Navigation settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog Navigation Settings.

Navigation Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

- &dolphin; can be configured to open items with a single mouse click (Single-click to open files and folders) or a double mouse click (Double-click to open files and folders). In the latter case, a single mouse click will select the file or folder.

- Archives will be opened inside &dolphin;, and not in an external application, if Open Archives as folder is enabled.

- If Open folders during drag operations is enabled, dragging an item with the mouse and hovering a folder with it for a short time will open that folder. This permits to move or copy items quickly to folders which are several levels deeper in the folder hierarchy.

#### Services

This group offers a selection of services that can be shown in the Actions submenu of &dolphin;'s context menu which appears when clicking a file or folder with the &RMB;.

Screenshot of the Services settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog Services Settings.

Services Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

Using the Download New Services you can fetch additional service menu.

If you have installed &dolphin;'s plugins for Bazaar, Mercurial, Git or Subversion from the kdesdk module an additional group Version Control Systems is displayed. If these plugins are enabled and you enter a folder which is under version control, the version state (locally changed, up to date &etc;) is indicated by icons and you have additional entries in the context menu like commit, update, add, remove &etc;

&dolphin; has to be restarted to activate changes of these settings.

#### Trash

This group contains settings which control the behavior of the trash. Screenshot of the Trash settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog Trash Settings.

Trash Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

- Files which are older than a configurable number of days can be deleted automatically.

- The size of the trash can be limited to a configurable percentage of the disk size. If this limit is reached, a warning can be issued, or the oldest or largest files can be deleted automatically.

#### General

This group contains settings which control the general behavior of &dolphin;. The group is divided further into four subgroups which can be accessed using the tab bar on top. Screenshot of the General settings in &dolphin;'s preferences dialog General Settings.

General Settings in &dolphin;'s Preferences Dialog.

##### Behavior Tab

- In the View Properties section, it can be configured if the view properties are stored for each folder or if common view properties are to be used for all folders.

- In the Ask for Confirmation When section, warning dialogs which are shown before potentially harmful actions can be enabled.

- When hovering a file or folder with the mouse, a small window with information about it is shown next to it if Show tooltips is enabled.

- Show selection marker shows a small + or - button above an item's icon if the item is hovered with the mouse. These can be used to select or deselect the item.

- Natural sorting of items controls how items are sorted in the view. If this option is enabled, the sort order of three example files will be

  1. File1,

  2. File2,

  3. File10.

  If this option is disabled, the normal alphabetical sorting will be used, which leads to the sort order

  1. File1,

  2. File10,

  3. File2.

##### Previews Tab

In this tab, it can be configured for which file types previews are shown. Moreover, the maximum filesize for which previews are generated can be chosen, and it can be configured if thumbnails embedded in files are used or not.

If previews are enabled for folders, previews of some files in the folder will be shown inside a folder's icon.

##### Context Menu Tab

In this tab, it can be chosen if the Delete, Copy To, and Move To commands are shown in the context menu which appears when right-clicking a file or folder.

##### Status Bar Tab

In this tab, some additional items can be enabled for the status bar, provided the status bar is wide enough:

- A zoom slider which can be used to change the icon size quickly.

- A bar that shows how much space is free on the current drive.

### Folder View Properties

The following settings control how the contents of a folder are displayed in the &dolphin; view, and are stored on a per-folder basis by default:

- The view mode (Icons, Compact, Details)

- The sorting of items, which is determined by the sort order (ascending, descending) and the attribute (such as name, size,...) that the items are sorted by

- Sorting of folders and files – are folders shown first or not?

- Previews – are they shown instead of icons (based on the settings made in Previews tab of &dolphin;'s General settings) or not?

- Are items shown in groups in the views?

- Are hidden files shown?

- What additional information (besides the name) is shown in the Icons or Details view?

The view properties can be configured in the View menu, some (such as the view mode) can also be changed using toolbar buttons.

#### The View Properties Dialog

Screenshot of the View Properties dialog The View Properties dialog.

The View Properties Dialog.

The View Properties dialog can be used to quickly modify several view properties at once. This is done for the current folder, for the current folder including all subfolders, or even for all folders, depending on the choice made in the Apply View Properties To section.

If Use these view properties as default is enabled, the chosen view properties will also be used for all folders which do not have customized view properties yet.
