Re: default filemanager

Ok, let me translate it:

I just read that another snapshot of KDE4 is released. Fine of course, development continues, also at KDE and that is how it is supposed to be. I also saw that KDE adds a seperate filemanager to KDE4: Dolphin. It won't replace Konqueror, which can do more than just filemanagement (by the way, i could never get used to konqueror). The first thing i noticed about Dolphin is the looks of this new filemanager. I won't say anything, just draw your own conclusions. ;-)

KDE is moving more and more towards gnome. :)

Let say: Modelled after a good example :) At KDE too there might be people that find Konqueror a bit of overkill. I find Thunar more comfortable (especially faster) than Nautilus.

So far the translation of that blog.

So in short he makes the statement that Dolphin reminds him of Nautilus.
And looking at the screenshot of Dolphin and at Nautilus on my (kde) desktop, i can only agree with him ;)

>>[picture of nautilus]

that should be [picture of dolphin] of course :)
The blog can also be found on http://planet.nl.gnome.org

which imho makes it a gnome blog.
But that is not the point: this gnome blogger points out that the simplistic interface of dolphin reminds of nautilus.
And he is right in my opinion..

Nobody on the whole page is comparing Dolphin to Nautilus, there is only one comment which said Thunar is more comfortable compared to Nautilus... Or am I missing something?!?!

Well, doesn't matter really ;-)

Yup, you are drawing other conclusions than the blog poster did.
He is pointing to nautilus (which is the filemanager that the blog poster uses -- see other blogs of him), but is does not want to say that explicitly :o)

>> Well, doesn't matter really ;-)

Indeed, but still: he's right :)
