<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
&dolphin; is &kde;'s default file manager. It aims to improve usability at the
user interface level. &dolphin; focuses only on being a file manager whereas
&konqueror;, which was &kde;'s default file manager in &kde; 3 and can still be
used for file management, is a universal viewer for many file types.
</para>
<para>
This design approach allows the developers to concentrate on optimizing the user
interface for the specific task of file management.
</para>
<para>
Please report any problems or feature requests to the &dolphin; author via the
bug report dialog. This is accessible either from the <guibutton>Control</guibutton>
button at the right of the toolbar in the default mode without
menubar; or from <menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>Report Bug...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
menu of the application, if the menubar is shown.

<question>
<para>Has &dolphin; replaced &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
&dolphin; is not intended to be a competitor to &konqueror;: &konqueror; acts as
a universal viewer being able to show &HTML; pages, text documents, folders and a
lot more, whereas &dolphin; focuses on being only a file manager. This approach
allows the optimization of the user interface for the task of file management.

The easiest way to get involved with &dolphin; is to subscribe to the developer
mailing list <ulink url="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kfm-devel">kfm-devel</ulink>

you can devote &etc;, the developers will let you know what you can do in the
project. If you wish to contribute to the documentation please email the
