Bug ID: 391094
Summary: Dolphins default settings are unusable for most users
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: vamp...@ignaz.org
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Roughly 30% of the users i work with have used other Linux Desktops in the past
(mostly GNOME and XFCE) and 70% of the users i have to work with have used
Windows before.
And there is a major annoyance almost everyone come to me with.
Dolphins default settings are just unusable. The icons are tiny (especially
with todays screen resolutions) and there are now previews enabled.
But the biggest problem is, that setting is for every folder!
So the user changes it, goes to a different folder and dolphin is unusable
again.
That always causes big frustrations amongst the users because they think they
do it wrong and come to the conclusion, i quote, "Sometimes it works setting
it, sometimes not, i never know when it works and when not and every folder i
go into looks different".
Also single-click is a very big issue, almost every user here hits into the
issue that single-click opens the file. Especially on notebooks with touchpads
thats a very big issue.
As almost all other file manager handles this different, i recommend the
following settings:
- Double Click to open files
- All folders use the same settings
- Bigger icons per default
- Preview enabled per default
