Bug ID: 431569
Summary: Complete removal of Dolphin from KDE required
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ergonomic.c...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This thread can only be closed by Nate Graham or people who have been tagged as
Dolphin developers.
This message is written for them. Not for obscure people with "stack overflow"
editing syndrome.
The reason for such a harsh statement:
1. Dolphin hasn't developed for ten years. The cosmetic effects that make this
file manager look pretty don't count.
2. Dolphin cannot search for files. Built-in file search is not trustworthy,
since it does not even have primitive settings (date, hidden, size, depth).
Baloo is unable to search files adequately.
Just try to find the file "baloofilerc" using the built-in search or baloo.
Good luck! The problem is already 10 years old.
3. Dolphin is not able to work correctly with network folders. When I work, I
feel almost real pain. Probably https://feverfew.home.blog/ will be implemented
in Dolphin only after a millennium =)
4. Dolphin is not able to remember general parameters for all folders, as well
as reset them (for old folders that already have ".directory") when this
parameter is changed.
5. Dolphin is so strongly connected to KDE that it is impossible to painlessly
replace it with another file manager. Without losing functionality. And here
the user has a choice, either by losing the functionality and using another
normal file manager, or the surrogate file manager Dolphin = (
6. The only advantage of Dolphin over Nautilus is the functionality of
"bookmarks", "entry points", "separate network folder", "restore tabs after
restarting". In all other parameters, Dolphin is seriously inferior to
Nautilus.
7. Restoration of previously opened tabs. This was the topic on the forum 8
years ago. And just recently this feature has become available. It was
lightning fast.
8. If the folder is being read, no operations can be performed. This is very
pronounced when working with network folders or connected devices.
9. The file manager is the backbone of the operating system. The user will work
with this program most of the time. But KDE does not pay enough attention to
this most important program (for the GUi).
