[opensuse] Why doesn't #dmraid bring up the man page in dolphin kde4?
Listmates, I'm trying to force myself to use dolphin and have it a bit of a snag. I needed to view the dmraid man page so I did ctrl+t and entered #dmraid. Nothing. Then I entered man://dmraid and dolphin locked up and the following message appeared in the systray: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/dolphin-m... What happened? Why can't I look at man pages? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I'm not sure dolphin is supposed to support man://, info://, etc. It is meant to be "just" a file manager so, at best, it would attempt to "preview" the contents. This is just a guess though. I know kio_* is supposed to work for all applications, but I'm not sure how that interacts with "custom" URL handlers. (I still use konqueror for everything. I do like the dolphinPart for managing files though.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

I can tell you what I just went back to... and I can tell you what just got removed from quicklaunch ;-) Fricking flipper. All that effort wasted on an app that doesn't even have basic view capability for man and info pages built in?? That's really "new-user friendly". I guess they are just supposed to "guess" at how Linux works now ;-) Think about how much konqueror could have been improved if all those man-hours that went into developing a second un-needed file manager for KDE had been put into just making konqueror better. Honestly, after having used dolphin for a week, I don't see a hell of a lot of difference between it and konqueror on the surface. You look a little deeper and you begin to see the main difference is just what dolphin "will not do" that konqueror does. So in KDE4, we get a "new" dolphin and then a "new" konqueror where you can't even push down on the details button and select 'tree view' anymore. Sometimes I just shake my head. Does anyone know if they keep statistics on how much time has been accumulated in the development of kde app X or app Y? It would just be fun to take a look at where the time went... -- David C.
