[SOLVED] Dolphin: multiple builds, inconsistent functionality

gajo · 2015-12-20 08:29:16

For some reason my system has grown to have two dolphins:
- local/dolphin 15.08.3-3 and
- local/dolphinpart4 15.08.3-2
There's a slight difference between them, in that dolphin doesn't properly support dark color schemes, but seems to have support for right-click compression/decompression extensions.
Dolphinpart4 supports dark color schemes and also dropbox support but doesn't do any compression. There might also be some additional differences which aren't as important to me.
I've attached the screen below showing the two of them in action. On the left is dolphinpart4 (dolphin4) and on the right is dolphin.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to integrate these functionalities in one app? At the very least proper color schemes and compression/decompression..?
Thanks in advance.

Solved: Upgrade to Plasma 5

dolphin4 is not meant to be used directly, it only provides a backend for konqueror. The only supported version of dolphin is the one form the dolphin package.

OK, but that doesn't resolve anything or explain why dolphin4 has proper theme rendering while dolphin does not.

Does it still look like that after restarting dolphin? Here it picks up the dark theme correctly only after a restart.

Yes. This is a several months old issue (also tried reinstalling and deleting ~/.config/dolphinrc). Are you using the same version of dolphin as I?

I'm using 15.12. Which color scheme is this?

Ah, that explains things. I've been using KDE4. Now upgraded to KDE5(Plasma5) and the dolphin issues seem gone.
