Er, Sven, Konqueror did what Per was asking for by using an EMBEDDED
VIEWER,   **NOT** a faster loading external viewer.

And this isn't about "konqueror2".
Yes, Dolphin has a different philosophy.
Its clear that it is meant to be ONLY a file manager.
It says so at the KDE site - http://dolphin.kde.org/

Perhaps you'd care to point out to us what advantage Dolphin has a file
manager over Konqueror as a file manager?

I ask that because I see on the web site such things as "... This
approach allows to optimize the user interface for the task of file
management."  But I don't see how.  I don't see any advantage - and yes
I tried using Dolphin as a file manager to the exclusion of Konqueror
for about 2 weeks and went back because I was getting frustrated.
