Quick Start Guide
Menu bar: Call the main menu up via the spanner icon. All possible functions are
ready there, such as copying, moving or deletion of les, changing view, starting of
further tools, changing settings and calling up help.
Symbol bar: The symbol bar accelerates the navigation and changing of the display.
The relevant functions can also be called up via the main menu. If the mouse pointer
is positioned over an icon for a moment, a short description of the icon is displayed.
Address bar: The address bar displays the path to the current directory. It is
available in two versions: one displays the path to the current directory with buttons
for each superordinate folder. Click on a directory name in this view in order to change
to this directory. The second version of the address bar displays the path to the
current directory as a text chain which can be edited.
Fields: The Places sidebar is displayed in Dolphin as standard. It enables rapid
access to frequently used places such as your home directory, the root directory of
the le system (/), the Recycle Bin, and removable media. You can add further dif-
ferent control bars in the main menu under View > Side bars .
Display eld (work area): The content of the selected directory or the selected
le is displayed in the display eld. Dolphin shows the content of your home directory
as standard at the start. By clicking on a folder in Dolphin an action is started directly
as standard: Dolphin loads the le into an application or opens the folder for further
processing.
Status bar: Shows the le type and the size of the currently selected object and
enables maximization and minimization of the icons or entries in the display eld
via the slider.
