At least in konqueror one had access to root file manager, not available in dolphin... u have to tweak and heave and ho before u can get it right, and fater that it usually does not read the root directory well. Konqueror for me anyday, anytime I choose konqueror to dolphin anyday anytime.

The tip about using fish://... to mount remote directories has improved my life. When I wanted to use konqueror following an upgrade from Fedora 7 to 10, I found it was not installed by default. No problem, except it took some stumbling and searching to discover a way to install it on Fedora 10: yum install kdebase Thanks!

It was only around for the debut version of KDE. By KDE 2.0, it was replaced with Konqueror. Since that time, Konqueror has remained an integral part of KDE as a file manager but is so much more. A rule-breaker by definition, Konqueror is a file manager, a web browser, a universal viewing application, a client for many protocols, and the most customizable of KDE applications.

However, I've never been impressed by Konqueror. I get the impression that KDE is loosing ground, and pushing 2nd rate browsers doesn't help. The KDE folks should work with the Mozilla guys to get proper integration of Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird. Then KDE really would have a top notch browser suite.

This concept is nothing new...however, it appears to be more elegantly implemented in this instance. Looks (and sounds) like konqueror is to kde as explorer is to windows.

Simply amazing, and I'm with drteeth about the terminal window. Fantastic program! One indispensable feature for me in file management task is the context menu “copy to…” and “move to…”.

It gives me all the ease of use of a gui and the sheer power of the command line. A fantastically powerful combination. Oh yes and don't forget the filesize viewer is great way of seeing instantly your disk usage. Love it!!
