Dolphin is mentioned, never heard of it before. Seems like a interesting usecase. I personally never struggled to find something with search, though I usually use a file explorer.
Has anyone used this and how do you integrate in your workflow?
Seriously? It’s the default file manager for KDE since version 4, way back in 2006. If you’ve KDE at all since then, you’ve probably used it.
Then I have definitely used it! But I wasnt aware of its name. I mean, there are so many concepts, names, brands to lean and be aware of, when getting into Linux.
Have you ever hovered over its icon?
I mean probably. But I have been using wayland with Gnome for quite some timw now. KDE was never my daily driver.
Dolphin is the kde plasma file manager. Search up until now is very weird. Different search syntax when searching in indexed vs non indexed folders aswell as differences when folder is e.g. a network share (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428950)
I personally use kfind when possible, because it works a lot better but ofc a good native search in file manager would be preferable
I never really used its find function. Whenever I searched for something, my first idea would always be to open a shell.
It’s a bit silly since kde spends so much energy indexing stuff though. I really should give it another try.
