<para>
&dolphin; is a file manager for &kde; which aims to improve usability at the user interface level. 
&dolphin; is not intended to be a competitor to &konqueror;.
&dolphin; focuses only on being a file manager whereas &konqueror; is a universal viewer of many 
file types. This development approach allows for concentrating on optimizing the user interface 
for the specific task of file management.
</para>

<para>
Please report any problems or feature requests to the &dolphin; author via the bug report dialog.
This is accessible from the 
<menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>Report Bug...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> 
menu of the application.

&dolphin; does not represent a wild departure from the &konqueror; file manager interface. There are certain paradigms in use however, which may require some readjustment on the user's part. An attempt is made below to explain these in an effort to provide a more enjoyable experience for our users.

</para>

<para>
The location bar displays the path to the current folder. The location bar has two versions. By default location is chosen through the 'bread crumb' display.  The bread crumb display makes each folder a link which can be used to immediately go to the entry. The <filename class="directory">/home/peter/Documents</filename> entry in the bread crumb view would become 'Home >  peter >  Documents' with Home, peter, and Documents being clickable links which are able go to there respective locations. This makes navigation to folders above the current folder easier and more intuitive. There is also the classic "location view" which is a text box in which you can type the full path of the folder you wish to view.
</para>

<para>To switch from breadcrumbs to location view, simply click to the right of the breadcrumb area. To change back, click the newly appeared yellow arrow to the right of the location bar.</para>
<para>To change the default &dolphin; view, please see the settings section.</para>
<!--TODO make that a link once written-->


<!-- TODO
(show picture here distinguishing the two views for clarification) -->

<para>
The workspace shows the contents of the current folder. The workspace can also be set to "Split" mode and show two folders simultaneously. 
</para>

<para>
The status bar shows a limited amount of data relating to the file hovered over and the current folder.  When a file is hovered over, the status bar shows the file name, the filesize and the file type &eg; JPEG.  When no file has been highlighted or hovered over, the status bar shows the amount of files and folders in the current folder.  At all times the status bar shows the amount of storage space that has currently been used on the current mount point, as well as the maximum space available on the mount point &eg; <filename class="directory">/home/</filename>.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="dolphin-workspace">
<title>&dolphin; Workspace</title>

<para>The &dolphin; workspace can display the contents of a folder in a variety of views. There are three viewing modes Icons, Details, and Columns. Each of these can have Preview enabled. This changes the icons into showing a preview of the file, rather than an simply icon.</para>


<para>
The <guibutton>Icons</guibutton> view shows the contents of the folder via the file icon type &eg; an <acronym>MP3</acronym> file will be represented with the icon for an <acronym>MP3</acronym>  file.  Sub-folders are represented in the form of a folder icon. The folder icon is defined by the &kde; icon theme currently in use, however individual folders can have their icon changed manually if the user wishes.  This can be done via the properties dialog. 
<!-- TODO (more? changing folder icons not really dolphin specific.) -->
</para>

<para>
The <guibutton>Details</guibutton> view lists the contents of a folder whilst also displaying additional properties about the file. The default &dolphin; configuration only displays the size of the file and the date it was last modified. The choice of additional information shown can be changed by right clicking on the column header and selecting the information you wish to view or in <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Configure &dolphin;...</guisubmenu></menuchoice>
</para>

<para>
The <guibutton>Columns</guibutton> view allows multiple levels of the folder structure to be viewed at once. Each time a folder is clicked a new pane appears to the right of the current listing showing the contents of that folder.
</para>


<para>
The <guibutton>Preview</guibutton> view is similar to the icons view. The difference is that wherever possible previews of the files are shown. This function works for a number of image types including; JPG, PNG, XCF, <acronym>SVG</acronym> and numerous others. The previews view is also capable of showing the first 14 lines from text documents. &dolphin; is also capable of displaying a preview of &HTML; and <acronym>PDF</acronym> files in the previews view. It is also possible to modify the size of the previews via the Configure &dolphin; dialog.
<!--  (link, and info on it) -->
</para>

<para>
Changing the view of the folder a user is working in is as simple as clicking the icon of the view they wish to use. This will cause the workspace view to change accordingly.

</para>

<para>
The workspace in &dolphin; is capable of showing two folders within the same window, known as split workspaces. In order to enable or disable the split workspace mode toggle the icon on the taskbar. Another way to enable or disable the split workspace mode is to use the <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Split</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu option.
</para>

<para>
If this option is enabled then the workspace will split apart. Two separate workspace areas will be available for use, along with two separate location bars.  Clicking on either workspace will make it the active workspace.  If the user toggles the split workspace mode off, then the currently active workspace will remain, while the inactive workspace will close.

</para>

<para>
&dolphin; is capable of remembering the workspace view on a per-folder basis.  For example, if while viewing <filename class="directory">/home/peter/Pictures/</filename> the user choses to use the preview view, then the next time the user enters that folder, the view will be changed to the preview view. This is especially useful for folders containing mainly images. The feature only works for local folders which the user has read/write permissions to. &dolphin; will also remember the viewing mode it was in when last running &eg; single workspace or split workspace.
</para>

<para>
&dolphin; can also display files and sub-folders that are hidden in the current folder &eg; files such as <filename>.dolphin</filename> and sub-folder such as <filename class="directory">.kde/</filename>.
</para>

<para>
Hidden files and sub-folders can be distinguished from non-hidden file and sub-folders by their colouring.  Hidden files/sub-folders are fainter than non-hidden files/sub-folders.

<sect3>
<title>Information</title>
<para>
The <guilabel>Information</guilabel> panel shows extended information about the selected file(s), including size, type, and date of last modification. Information also features a large preview of the selected file.
</para>
</sect3>

<sect3>
<title>Folders</title>
<para>
The <guilabel>Folders</guilabel> panel shows a tree view structure of the file system. It only shows folders. By selecting a folder the main &dolphin; area changes to show the contents of the selected folder.
</para>
</sect3>

<sect3>
<title>Terminal</title>
<para>
This panel opens a terminal inside the &dolphin; workspace. The terminal will open at the folder currently shown in the &dolphin; view. Changing folder in the main &dolphin; view will change the working folder of the terminal to match.
Note: Changing folder in the terminal will not affect the &dolphin; view. The terminal only works with local media.

<title>Miscellaneous Questions</title>

<qandaset id="misclist">
<qandaentry>
<question>
<para>Does &dolphin; intended to replace &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
&dolphin; is not intended to be a competitor to &konqueror;: &konqueror; acts as universal viewer being able to show &HTML; pages, text documents, folders and a lot more, whereas &dolphin; focuses on being only a file manager. This approach allows to optimize the user interface for the task of file management.
</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>

<qandaentry>
<question>
<para>How can I get involved with the development of &dolphin;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The easiest way to get involved with &dolphin; is to drop the developers an email.  If you email Peter Penz (Lead Developer/Project Leader), what you can do, how much time you can devote &etc; and he will let you know what you can do in the project. If you wish to contribute to the documentation email Michael Austin (Documentation Leader).  He can then fill you in on the situation &eg; what needs to be added/finished, the procedure for submitting documentation.
</para>
<para>
The email addresses of Peter Penz and Michael Austin can be found on the main page of the documentation, or in the Credits section.
</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>

<qandaentry>
<question>
<para>Where do I submit bug reports to?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Bug reports should only be submitted for released versions of &dolphin;, please do not submit bug reports for the Subversion release of &dolphin; as this is expected to break due to its constant development.
</para>
<para>
The official channel for submitting bug reports is via the &kde; bug tracking system.
The &kde; bug tracker can be found at <ulink url="http://bugs.kde.org">http://bugs.kde.org</ulink>.
