Hi! I'm a long time Nautilus user, and starting to use Dolphin now, and as expected, i got some difficulty on using it, like:
- What is the similar of 'nautilus scripts' on dolphin, and how can i get it working? and running them with a right-click over an icon, like we can do on Nautilus?
- How can i open a directory by a folder double-click instead of an once-click? (it's hugelly confusing for me, opening folders by clicking once)
- How can i store bookmarks of the directories? (like on Nautilus)

and as suggestion, would be great the 'Startup' path from the Dolphin preferences being at '~/Desktop/' or '~/Documents/', instead of merelly '~/', for avoiding newbies getting lost into the chaos of the Home folder, and scare them, since the Home folder is plenty of configuration files, what may look confusing for users don't need to access them all the time...

thanks! =)

1. Double click open: Goto KMenu -> System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse and choose "Double click to open..."
2. Bookmarks: right click on any folder -> Add to places

You can create a launcher for whichever folder you like. Right click at any folder, select "Create New" -> Link to application. Enter name of the shortcut. Now under the "Application tab", enter the "command" as "dolphin /path/to/location" and click OK.

Not being too accustomed to Nautilus, I would assume nautilus scripts are the same as servicemenus in KDE-terms. If they are, take a look at:

to see if the functionality you want is available.
