Dolphin is a file manager for KDE focusing on usability.

Here are some key features of "Dolphin File Manager":
Navigation bar for URLs, which allows to navigate quickly through the file hierarchy.
View properties are remembered for each folder.
Splitting of views is supported.
Network transparency.
Undo/redo functionality.

Dolphin is not intended to be a competitor to Konqueror, the default KDE file manager: Konqueror acts as universal viewer being able to show HTML pages, text documents, directories 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.

What's New in This Release:
Renaming of a variable number of selected items in one step is supported now.
Translations for Estonian, French, Hebrew and Polish (thanks to Ain Vagula, Stephane Lesimple, Patrice Tremblay, Itai Alter and Piotr Malinski).
When dragging a file A above file B, file A is copied into the directory of file B instead of replacing file B itself (Bug 1559793).
Use larger icons in bookmarks menu, this allows a faster access (patch submitted by Patrice Tremblay).
The default bookmark for 'System' has been replaced by 'Storage Media', 'Network' and 'Trash' (patch submitted by Patrice Tremblay).
Updated documentation.
General Settings page: use "Home URL" instead of "Home" as this prevents some translation issues for French (patch submitted by Patrice Tremblay).
Minor fixes for the disk space information (patch submitted by Patrice Tremblay).
Replaced "Edit Location" icon (submitted by Patrice Tremblay).
Refresh the icon positions when a file has been deleted (Bug 1548249).
New service menu 'Open as Root' for directories.
Fixed possible wrong selection in Details View (Bug 1547516).
