[SOLVED] open dolphin in current directory

[g.]

Hi,

I have a stupid problem and maybe also out of topic here...

Due to my habits I often need to open Dolphin from a konsole, I need dolphin to be opened in the current directory.

What I do is to run pwd and then copy and paste the current directory to the command Dolphin:

myname@trinity:~$ pwd
/home/myname/dir1
myname@trinity:~$ dolphin /home/myname/dir1

Is there a way to do it avoiding using the mouse? i.e., avoiding the copy&paste operation?

I tried a

pwd | dolphin

but it does not work...

I know that, under Kubuntu 9.04, it is possible to right click and "open browser here" thath opens the default browser (dolphin) in the current directory, i.e., exactly what I need. I would like, however, to do it without the mouse.

thanks in advance,
g.

Re: open dolphin in current directory

Here's a couple of ways:

1. from the command line:

dolphin `pwd`

(the `s are 'backticks' not single quotes, the output of the command between the ticks is inserted into the whole command, effectively starting dolphin in your present working directory)...alternative is

dolphin $(pwd)

(i'd recommend making an alias for it for quick typing if you use it a lot, something like 'dwd', for example

2. Mouse:
Right-click on konsole window, choose 'Open Browser Here'

3. Keyboard Shortcut:
You can create a keyboard shorcut for opening file browser in konsole's settings

EDIT: Ah, you're familiar with #2 already
EDIT2:

 dolphin ./

should also work (I'd still create a quick to type alias, unless you prefer the keyboard shortcut)
