dolphin annoyances

[nwtpclnxs]

Hi,

Dolphin is set to open with dolphin %i --caption "%c" %u .  I would like to know what the variables mean and which man page to access to get that info. Also when I open dolphin as root I want the caption to remain "ROOT" on the titlebar even if I click a folder. When I click a folder the folder name followed by -Dolphin is now set in the titlebar. I do not need to be reminded that I am using dolphin. Even if I open dolphin without options at the prompt it still puts -Dolphin after everything. Thanks for your help.

Try
dolphin --help-all
in a terminal.

You can create your own config file and use that for any changes you make.

From what I can see  '--caption' is there by default but you can change what it displays

dolphin --caption "My FileManager"

You should be able to find the options you can in the help file.

Hi,

I checked the --help, help-kde and help-qt. I noticed the --caption and --title options. The problem is that the first time I click a folder name the titlebar is replaced with the folder name and "- Dolphin". I am looking for a way to keep "ROOT" in the titlebar when I type a folder and also remove "-Dolphin". Is there a config file that sets "-Dolphin" in the titlebar?

I do not know of one .....  might be something in the KDE.org help files on line ...

Hi,

Thanks for the link. I had been looking for a site to explain those characters.
