<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
&dolphin; is &plasma;'s default file manager. It aims to improve usability at the
user interface level. &dolphin; focuses only on being a file manager whereas
&konqueror;, which was &kde;'s default file manager in &kde; 3 and can still be
used for file management, is a universal viewer for many file types.
</para>

<para>
This design approach allows the developers to concentrate on optimizing the user
interface for the specific task of file management.
</para>

<para>
Please report any problems or feature requests to the &dolphin; author via the
bug report dialog. This is accessible either from the <guibutton>Control</guibutton> 
button at the right of the toolbar in the default mode without
menubar; or from <menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>Report Bug...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
menu of the application, if the menubar is shown.

The view displays all files and folders in the current folder. These items
can be accessed or manipulated in different ways:
</para>
<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para>
A file or folder can be opened by clicking it with the &LMB; (or

be dragged and dropped in another folder in the current view or in another
&dolphin; view (in another &dolphin; window or in the same window if the
view is split, see below) to move or copy it or to create a symbolic link.
Items can even be dropped in another application to open them in that application.
</para></listitem>

<title>Filtering Files</title>

<para>
&dolphin; is capable of filtering files, &ie; showing only those items in the
view whose name contains a given text. For example, if you wish to show
only the <acronym>MP3</acronym> files within a folder, you could filter for <quote>.mp3</quote>.
This would then filter out all files whose name does not contain <quote>.mp3</quote>.
</para>

<para>
To filter files, first enable the filter bar, either by pressing <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>I</keycap></keycombo>
or via the menu: <menuchoice> <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Filter...</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>.
You can then enter the text to be filtered for in the filter bar. The filter bar can
be disabled either by pressing &Esc;, or with a &LMB; click on the 
<guiicon>Hide Filter Bar</guiicon> icon.

<para>
If you wish to rename a batch of files, first select the files to be renamed.
This can be done by pressing the &LMB; and drawing a rectangle around the files
to be renamed before releasing it, or by holding &Ctrl; and clicking each file
to be renamed (see <link linkend="selection">Selecting Items in the View</link>
for more details on item selection). Then open the batch-rename dialog by pressing
<keycap>F2</keycap> or via the File menu:
<menuchoice> <guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Rename...</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>

<para>
Then enter the name you wish to give the files. The # character must be present
within the name. The files will then be renamed, where the <userinput>#</userinput> 
character is replaced by a different consecutive number for each file.
</para>

<para>If all file extensions in your selection are different, the name of all files 
can be changed without using a <userinput>#</userinput> placeholder while preserving

The <guilabel>View Display Style</guilabel> dialog can be used to quickly modify
the view display styles for many folders at once. This is done for the current folder, for the
current folder including all subfolders, or even for all folders, depending on
the choice made in the <guilabel>Apply to</guilabel> section.
</para>

<para>
If <guilabel>Use as default view settings</guilabel> is enabled, the chosen view
properties will also be used for all folders which do not have customized view
properties yet.

<question>
<para>Has &dolphin; replaced &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
&dolphin; is not intended to be a competitor to &konqueror;: &konqueror; acts as
a universal viewer being able to show &HTML; pages, text documents, folders and a
lot more, whereas &dolphin; focuses on being only a file manager. This approach
allows the optimization of the user interface for the task of file management.

<question>
<para>How can I get involved with the development of &dolphin;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The easiest way to get involved with &dolphin; is to subscribe to the developer 
mailing list <ulink url="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kfm-devel">kfm-devel</ulink>
and drop an email to the developer mailing list. Email what you can do, how much time
you can devote &etc;, the developers will let you know what you can do in the
project. If you wish to contribute to the documentation please email the
<ulink url="mailto:kde-doc-english@kde.org">&kde; Documentation Team</ulink> list.
