>> whey you dont try to take a poll and ask users about something like this?

most users don't take polls.


>> Yes!Dolphin (maybe) is a good Simple File Manager.

So, what's the problem?

>>but whats the matter with Konqueror?

it's too technical and has too tight integrated filemanagement webbrowsing features

>>maybe Distro's will change their filemanager to dolphin,

which says enough about konqueror


>> KDE aims to be a powerfull Desktop Enviroment.Changing default file manager to Dolphin is againts this.

what's the difference between distro's defaulting to dolphin or kde defaulting to it and distro follow that choise?
Both ways dolphin becomes the default filemanager on many systems.
powerusers can change that easily to konqueror

>> I agree that making Toolbars change ith Profiles is the best solution

That's how konqueror works in kde 3.x
Apperently, that's not considered the best solution for kde4

I know this.i know they write code and they make my life easier.I am a KDE fan, im living with it and i love it.but i dont think every time I want to write a comment, i should repeat these.everybody knows these.

>> most users don't take polls.
which is better?asking 10-50 developers or asking all of dot people who read dot?

>> it's too technical and has too tight integrated filemanagement webbrowsing features
I think making Konqueror's code cleaner is easier than making a new file manager.and its really the good piece of Konqueror.its both Filemanager and web-browser.

KDE should try to use the best applications with its default package.lots of distro's will not touch it.

    >>I know this.

    But you asked the question :)

    >>which is better?asking 10-50 developers or asking all of dot people who read dot?

    I'd say the developers.
    Average users don't read the dot.

    Best choice would be to ask a team of experts to determine what's the best choice for kde.
    Not a bunch of random users..

    >>I think making Konqueror's code cleaner is easier than making a new file manager
    Yep, and that is what i would like to see.
    But apperently the kde developers choose otherwise.
    I hope they would change their mind and make konqueror a less cluttered webbrowser/filemanager, but with dolphin in kdebase they chose another path.

    >>KDE should try to use the best applications with its default package.lots of distro's will not touch it.

    What's best is not easy to determine.
    It looks like distro's are looking for a more simplified desktop, so even if konqueror is default and dolphin part of extragear, chances are that kubuntu for example chooses dolphin as default..
