If you want to browse pictures, use a picture app like gwenview (F11 for a folder tree or disable the preview pane for faster loading) or digikam. If you want to mangage your photos use digikam, if you want to manage your files use dolphin. One app, one purpose – that's how I understood the philosophy back when dolphin was created.
It sounds to me like Dolphin is a Great Step Backwards from Konqueror. As Per said .... The current default of opening and closing an application (gwenview or whatever the default is) is just too slow and cumbersome. As I understand it, Konqueror used some kind of embedded display mechanism, something to do with PLUGINS perhaps? When I look at menubar: settings -> configure conqueror -> file associations I see a tab for 'embedding' There I have the OPTION of whether certain kinds of images will be shown by default with the embedded viewer (and I then have a choice of which tool) or with an external program. It looks to me as if Dolphin is Giant Step Backwards in functionality and configurability. Oh my! I see under "settings" that Konqueror has a spell checker for web forms! -- There's a tendency today to absolve individuals of moral responsibility and treat them as victims of social circumstance.
