I just tried it and got the same, but you haven't said why you want to remove it.

Re: Removing Dolphin

I make a big assumption here by suggesting that you want konqueror as your file manager instead?

Have you considered simply configuring system settings/default applications to use konq as the file manager?

Re: Removing Dolphin

Well. I have Konqueror as default..

I think Dolphin is a humongous mistake!

Every dev hour spent on Dolphin should be used on other nice stuff I like 8) hehe.

So a way of showing my disappointment is to purge Dolphin from my system. But I can't...

Oh well, it takes all sorts!! Are you saying that if you purge Dolphin the developers will instantly see the error of their ways and abandon it forthwith?

I think the KDE devs have arranged it so you'll destroy your desktop if you try to nuke Dolphin.

If it's any comfort, it really doesn't take much disk space. Also, did you notice what happens if you push F4 while running Dolphin?

Re: Removing Dolphin

While full functionality has not been reached yet I do like the idea of tags - and it is so easy to do in dolphin Tag your files, pics, what have you and nepomuk will, one day, surprise you 8)

Re: Removing Dolphin

Oddly, i'm liking the KDE 3.5 re-mix more and more.... D3lphin isn't anywhere in sight.

Re: Removing Dolphin

I like the F4 thing.

I am afraid I have yet to learn to appreciate tags.

The question of who is requiring dolphin is interesting. The messages shown are coming from the packaging dependencies, but those dependencies may be in place because of dependencies in the software from KDE.

Re: Removing Dolphin

It seems to me Dophin and Konqueror are very much intertwined, when you change a setting in one itĺl also be changed in the other, an easy example is changing the Icon or preview size while in Dolphin, now start up Konqueror and you see the same.

Re: Removing Dolphin

The "f4" shortcut also exists in Konqueror, not integrated though. I don't care if it's big or small... i just wanna get rid of Dolphin.. :P
