I too had to laugh at the "little" dolphin reference. Having said that, for use in a DE, dolphin is my favorite "fat" graphical file manager. I don't use a DE any more so despite dolphin being my favorite, I am not installing 9 billion dependencies to use it. Pcmanfm works very well for me, plus midnight commander and if nothing else, good old cp, mv, etc. I like a visual file manager, especially for reviewing graphic thumbnails. That's really the only reason I use one, except for opening of documents. I always work from the file manager --> open file perspective and never from the open application --> find file perspective.
Distribution: openSUSE, Raspbian, Slackware. Previous: MacOS, Red Hat, Coherent, Consensys SVR4.2, Tru64, Solaris

Surprising that dolphin didn't get joined at the hip with akonadi---everything else on the KDE desktop seems to be.

I don't know how I'd ever be able to wade through the tens of thousands of photos I have on disk without a graphical file manager.
