I have been doing that, but there are certain advantages to using a second pane, especially when swapping between applications. Another alternative I've never even had installed but I've read about as a reasonable dual-pane kde file manager, is krusader. If I used kde's file management more than trivially, I'd definitely be trying that, but mc's what I use for major file management, or gwenview for image management, so dolphin only gets trivial usage, in which a single pane browser along with the tree view and places, is quite enough. And in kde3 it was konqueror filling the same trivial role. So I've never bothered to try krusader. Maybe someday... I have used Krusader in the past, I'll look at it again.

And in kde3 it was konqueror filling the same trivial role. So I've never bothered to try krusader. Maybe someday... I have installed krusader. It start up with 2 panes and from what I can see each of those can have multiple tabs. Shift right moves between tabs within a pane. I originally installed it because none of the usual ways of extracting specific files from an rpm would work. It's just a matter of clicking on the rpm and dragging the files out now. It comes set up for double clicks but can be changed to konq mode etc. It also has a rich set of short cuts. One I haven't tried is cntrl E edit in su mode which saves opening it in su mode when needed. Next time I need to do a lot of that the dolphin icons may disappear of my quick launch bar. It will also handle tar's. It also has the facility to file search and exclude specified directories. I've requested that feature for dolphin on the kde forum but last time I looked the idea was dormant. Maybe because I'm critical of nepomuk. With 30 odd gig of stuff kicking about mostly in smaller files that's rather important to me. Seems to have bookmarks too and other aspects related to console use that I haven't played with yet. What I lack now is one konq feature - photo/camera view. I will find not being able to open with the gimp from gwenview extremely irritating if it can't be used that way.

I will find not being able to open with the gimp from gwenview extremely irritating if it can't be used that way. You should be able to, but as the gimp isn't kde software but gtk, the file associations aren't likely to be automatic, so you'd have to set them up manually. kcontrol (systemsettings that aren't systemsettings but user specific kde settings, so I don't know why they call it systemsettings when it's mostly not), common appearance and behavior, file associations. Or select properties on an image file from whatever kde file manager, click on the little wrench icon to the right to open the filetype config, add the gimp, and set app order as appropriate. You should then be able to at least context-click and select open-with and then the gimp, or simply click on the file to open it in the gimp, depending on the filetype embedding tab setting and whether the gimp is top of the list or down the order chain a bit. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
