Everything I use outside of gnome puts the back button in a common spot in the top-left corner of the given window. Why fix what isn't broken? That's gonna drive me nuts.
Same. The redesign looks good tho IMO
The new design isn’t here to look pretty [...] but to take advantage of the improvements present in Libadwaita 1.4
But what for? Using new features for the sake of using new features?
Would be nice to have a tasks queue for copy actions and the like, i.e. prevent multiple IO tasks to/from the same drive and instead do them one by one.
Worst file manager I've used.
I’ll balance this out… Nautilus is the best file manager I’ve used 🙂
While I like Dolphin I always feel like there is too much going on.
Having said that, nautilus should copy the terminal in a tab that dolphin does.
It can't jump to a file or folder by typing, it immediately goes to search, which 80% of the time crashes the entire thing, and it lacks a ton of other very basic features where I'm questioning if people who use it even do anything more than browsing the web with their system.
I find it super stable. Opposite for dolphin for me.
Each their own 👍
The only time Dolphin crashed on me (always) was after a recent fresh installation, which was a bug that just required me to manually create the thumbnail folder. I don't think that's even a debatable comparison.
I’ve never had nautilus crash on me.
What do you use most / what's your favorite?
KDE's Dolphin I use most. I haven't used a lot of others recently to really claim it to be my favorite though and I don't want to form an opinion on any that I used just for a short moment many years ago.
