Il gestore di file focalizzato sull'usabilità

Panoramica delle caratteristiche

  • Gestore di file specializzato e semplice da utilizzare;
  • grande attenzione all'usabilità;
  • barra di navigazione breadcrumb;
  • pannelli opzionali per una comoda navigazione e per visualizzare le informazioni;
  • supporto alla gestione remota dei file e a pseudo-filesystem tramite KIO;
  • possibilità di etichettare file e cartelle e di trovare i file sulla base del contenuto utilizzando Nepomuk.

A prima vista è un semplice gestore di file, ma ha molte possibilità. Ecco alcune caratteristiche:

  • Divisione dell'area di lavoro per visualizzare e utilizzare due cartelle allo stesso tempo
  • Modalità di visualizzazione definibile (e memorizzabile) indipendentemente per ogni cartella
  • Navigazione a schede
  • Possibilità di utilizzare un pannello informazioni
  • O scegliere di visualizzare direttamente nell'area di lavoro le informazioni essenziali dei file e delle cartelle
  • Utilizzo della navigazione 'breadcrumb' per velocizzare l'accesso alle cartelle
  • Possibilità di passare con un clic dalla barra di navigazione alla tradizionale barra degli indirizzi
  • Disponibilità di un pannello Cartelle per visualizzare la tradizionale struttura ad albero delle cartelle
  • Possibilità di aprire un pannello Terminale sulla cartella in uso
  • Molte funzioni sono gestibili anche tramite scorciatoie da tastiera

Philosophy

Dolphin is a file manager focusing on usability. When reading the term Usability people often assume that the focus is on newbies and only basic features are offered. This assumption is wrong.

Target User Group

Focusing on usability means that features are discoverable and efficient to use. The feature set is defined indirectly by the target user group of Dolphin:

  • Lisa: Lisa is familiar with computers since 10 years. Due to her job she has experience with Word, Excel and Outlook. At home she mainly uses the computer for browsing the web and writing e-mails. She requires a file manager for managing photos from the camera, documents she gets per e-mail or PDF-documents she downloads with a browser. Lisa knows concepts like folders and a file hierarchy, but she is not familiar with the file hierarchy of Linux.
  • Simon: Simon has been a developer at a software company for 8 years. At home he uses a file manager to maintain his large collection of photos and music. Additionally he owns a small homepage and needs to transfer updated files on the FTP server. Moving and copying files are regular tasks in Simon's workflow.

Not part of the target user group of Dolphin are Fred and Jeff:

  • Fred: Fred is 75 years old and is able to write e-mails and browsing the web. He is not familiar with file hierarchies and stores all his documents on the desktop.
  • Jeff: Jeff is Linux-freak since the age of 16 a few years ago. He is developer and in his spare time he acts as administrator for a small company. Jeff has two monitors to keep the overview about his huge number of opened applications.

This does not mean that Fred or Jeff cannot work with Dolphin. But there might be features and concepts of Dolphin that overburden Fred. Also Jeff might miss some features which are a must-have for his daily work.

Non-Intrusive Features

Before a feature is added in Dolphin, it is checked whether the feature is mandatory for the target user group. If this is not the case, then this does not mean that the feature cannot be added; first it must be clarified whether the feature might be non-intrusive, so that it adds value for users outside the primary target user group of Dolphin. Non-intrusive is mainly related to the user interface. A feature that adds a lot of clutter to the main menu, context menus or toolbar might harm the target user group. In this case the feature will not be added.

A good example of a feature that is non-intrusive is the embedded terminal in Dolphin. It only requires one entry inside a sub menu, but adds great value for Jeff, who is not part of the target user group.

Options

Options are mandatory as the user "average Joe" does not exist. Still it is not the goal of Dolphin offering options for all kind of things. Again the focus is on the possible needs of the target user group. Each additional option makes it harder finding other options, so the same rules for features are applied to options too.

Consigli, suggerimenti e risoluzione dei problemi

Problema: le voci del menu di Dolphin Visualizza -> Ulteriori informazioni e/o Visualizza -> Pannelli non hanno opzioni. Nepomuk è attivato in Impostazioni di sistema.

Soluzione: rinomina la cartella ~/.kde4/share/apps/dolphin (in alcune distribuzioni sarà ~/.kde/share/apps/dolphin) e riavvia Dolphin. Questo eliminerà le tue personalizzazioni di Dolphin, ma le voci dovrebbero tornare visibili. Se tutto funziona come previsto puoi quindi cancellare la cartella. Questo mi è successo dopo un aggiornamento da KDE 4.4 a 4.5

Problema: quando scelgo di aprire uno specifico tipo di file con una certa applicazione, questa scelta influisce anche su altri tipi di file. È come se Dolphin non fosse in grado di distinguere i due tipi differenti di file.

Soluzione: probabilmente la piattaforma KDE non conosce uno dei due tipi di file, quindi associa quel tipo di file a un altro tipo conosciuto. È un possibilità comune con i tipi di file basati su XML: anche se utilizzano un'estensione differente (esempio: .xliff o .graphml), se non sono tipi di file noti alla piattaforma KDE, vengono trattati come tutti gli altri file XML e aperti con l'applicazione predefinita per aprire i file XML.
Per risolvere questo problema puoi utilizzare Associazioni dei file per creare una voce per il tipo di file non riconosciuto.

Visita anche il forum, il sito di Dolphin e consulta il manuale.
