I remember finding this out a while back. I tried to install it, but had some problem I don’t recall. I’ll try again. Thanks.
EDIT: Ah, right. It doesn’t find my mounted drives nor my shared drives from my server. Nor does it show previews of any filetype but images (which IS nice), just a big icon for text files, for instance.
I suppose there are fixes for these things, but I didn’t find anything in configuration or in the help section of the website after a quick search. That’s as far as I’m willing to dive into this, because I know I could spend hours on this, and still not find a solution from past experience.
Thanks, anyway.
Dolphin is plugin based. So there’s plugins for adding previews for more file formats. For network share stuff you may want to check if “kio” is installed and any optional dependencies on your distro for more functionality
Mounted drives
They should show up in the bottom of the Places pane on the left, in the “Devices” section. If it literally cannot find them, then I can’t say anything about what is wrong.
Shared drive
You should be able to add a network folder in Places (the left pane) > Network > Add Network Folder (in the top menu). If that wizard doesn’t work, you should be able to do it manually by typing
sftp://trackendakracken@192.168.1.123or whatever into the URI bar and press enter.Enable text preview
Menu (the three lines button in the top right) > Configure Dolphin > Interface > Previews > Text Files
