Dolphin

tagline: From openSUSE

Dolphin is the new (trimmed on usability) file manager of KDE4. Dolphin isn't a one-does-it-all application like Konqueror. It's limited on managing files. You can connect other KDE programs with Dolphin via KParts. Also you can use various protocols with KIO-Slaves. For example you can see the content of an archive. In KDE4 Konqueror uses a Dolphin-KPart to offer file management.
