Alternatively, start Dolphin with the platform theme flag:Īlso make sure to install and inherit a fallback icon theme like hicolor or Adwaita when you are using an uncommon, incomplete icon theme. If icons are still not displayed in Dolphin, set the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME variable to qt5ct in your xprofile. If icons are not displayed in Dolphin, install and run qt5ct, choose one icon theme at the Icon Theme tab, and Apply. Native Qt styles such as Cleanlooks and Oxygen are unaffected. conf), uncomment the relevant part and add for the three filesystems to the lines with xyz_defaults the options fmask=177,dmask=077.įonts in selection frames may become transparent when using the GTK Qt style. To configure udisks to mount these drives with mode 700, have a look at the file /etc/udisks2/mount_. FAT32 / EXFAT / NTFS do not support UNIX file permission, udisk mounts them by default with mode 755. To mount USB-Sticks / external HDDs, Dolphin uses Udisks. If the correct access permissions cannot be set, dolphin will (unlike GNOME) move the files to the trash in the home directory, which takes time. Trash-1000 is created on the external drive, with permission mode 700. The rationale being that you do not want that others can see what you deleted. Moving files into trash takes long on external drivesįor moving files into the Trash, it is required that the user has exclusive access rights to the Trash. See Persistent block device naming#by-label. Troubleshooting Device names shown as "X GiB Harddrive"Ĭreate a filesystem label, or a partition label, and Dolphin will show this label in the device list instead of the size. For example, to browse your Google Drive in Dolphin, install kio-gdrive. To quickly bookmark them, right-click in the workspace, and select "Add to Places". Available protocols are shown in the location bar (editable mode). Note, it is likely that this method will not make the internal Dolphin terminal window (opened with F4) use the terminal specified in the kdeglobals configuration.ĭolphin uses KIO slaves for network access, trash and other functionality, unlike GTK file managers which use GVFS. Instead, the default terminal can be changed by modifying the kdeglobals configuration ~/.config/kdeglobals, and adding TerminalApplication= terminalname under the tab. Some users will not have the module installed. If it is preferred to launch tmux along with a terminal emulator inside Dolphin, simply type in terminalname -e tmux after selecting Other. To change the default terminal emulator, run kcmshell5 componentchooser and select Terminal Emulator > Other. Support for audio CDs is provided by the kio extension audiocd-kio.ĭolphin and other KDE applications use konsole by default. Note that heif/heic thumbnails will be enabled by default on versions of kio-extras after 21.12 (see the link to this bug report for further explanation). To enable heif/heic image thumbnails, edit /usr/share/kservices5/sktop adding image/heif to the line which starts with MimeType=.
