Dolphin is not konqueror2. It's a different app with different goals and philosophy. There is not only one way to do things right. If konqueror is what you want, use it. Sven, I have read this phrase many times in many posts, because I also miss many things in dolphin.
But konqueror now is not "real" konqueror. It looks just like a "wrapper" for dolphin. The goodies that konqueror had are gone. The "information" given are exactly the same as in dolphin and not what konqueror used to have.
So it is very easy to say "use konqueror", but its also quite useless to say it, when konqueror doesn't really exist anymore...
If it still would exist, I wouldn't have to think a millisecond and dolphin wouldn't receive one single click anymore in my life!
Eh? Konqueror hasn't been changed in ages, and certainly hasn't been replaced by a dolphin wrapper. It should have all the features it always did. What are you seeing that makes you think this, maybe it's a bug? I don't see a pop-up window with details for e.g. PDF and office files when I hover the mouse pointer over a file icon.
Reading your other responses I think I now understand what you're getting at. Basically in KDE 4.3 (or 4.4 maybe) the file metadata was turned over to strigi/nepomuk so if you don't have them running + working + indexing the file in question, you don't get any of the file-specific metadata (in Dolphin or Konq, for pdfs/opendocument).
Personally I think this is a bit silly (run an indexer just to see info on one file?), but anyway, that's the answer to your question.
I'm getting closer now - Ive figured out how to enable strigi (courtesy of a Ubuntu page), and I'm now getting the hover window with the blue background on jpegs, and PDFs. For office documents I get the hourglass (or whatever the new busy icon is called). The info for PDFs is not complete at all. I also find it a bit silly to run an indexer for this purpose, but if it doesn't interfere with anything, I have no issue with it as such. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
