Dolphin (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dolphin

Unlike its elder brother Konqueror, Dolphin is focussed purely on file management, making it similar to GNOME's Nautilus.
Developer: The KDE Team
OS: Linux, Unix-like and embedded systems
Use: File browser
License: GNU GPL
Website: Dolphin

Dolphin is a new File Manager for KDE 4. When KDE 4 is released, Dolphin will be configured as the default file manager and Konqueror will be the default browser, but it will still keep its file manager capabilities. Dolphin for KDE 4 has been adapted in a way that Konqueror and Dolphin share as much code as possible[1].
