2 questions:
1: Dolphin now uses cute little icons to differentiate file type and folders. The Dolphin Help manual is totally silent on the icon meanings. Do they expound on the icons and what they signify anywhere? I have found 6 different icons for files in one folder. For 'executable' files they seem to use a green square with a right pointing triangle. I get different symbols overlaid when I place the cursor on the icon.
2:Unix Manual: KDE used to have a help section under the kicker icon in the panel. It seems to have been deemed no longer useful or necessary. That mystifies me. I guess nobody uses Unix commands anymore or they have infallible memory in their heads to immediately access all Unix commands. Fortunately I still do and I do not have an infallible memory in my head to remember all (or even a small fraction) of them and I am losing the memory of more of them every year. Now I do have a paper book that lists all of them. I forget how many hundreds of pages it is. I do have it on DVD as a pdf document. Unfortunately neither is a very good method of quickly looking up a system function call or user command. Is the html version that I used to be able to access under the "Help" section of the kicker still available anywhere?
;'man' is good if I already remember the exact system function or user command, not so good otherwise. The html document previously available was good since I could skim through the list to narrow down the search or find the one needed.
