What is Dolphin File Manager?

Dolphin is a robust and versatile file manager designed for the KDE desktop environment. With a strong focus on usability, Dolphin offers three distinct view modes: Icon, Detail, and a previously available Column View, which provided a familiar user experience similar to Finder on macOS. The file manager supports a wide range of protocols, including FTP, SCP, and others, making it a capable tool for managing files and directories across various networks and platforms One of Dolphin's key features is its high level of configurability, allowing users to customize the application to suit their specific needs. The dual-pane view and tabbed file browsing capabilities further enhance the user experience, enabling efficient file management and navigation Dolphin's filter tab is a powerful tool that allows users to quickly sort and display files based on customizable expressions, such as filtering for all PDF files in a directory. Additionally, Dolphin seamlessly integrates with the KRename utility, providing users with quick and easy file renaming options through the "Actions" context menu Preview functionality is available for a wide range of file types, enabling users to quickly view the contents of their files without the need to open them in a separate application. Dolphin's extensibility further expands its capabilities, with support for integrating various services, such as YouTube, Dropbox, and Tumblr, directly within the file manager The application's UI automatically adapts to the user's KDE style, including support for dark mode, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing experience across different system configurations
