I am not quite sure what you mean ...
... Dolphin is a limited File Manager.

If possible, it will be with 'konqueror'

I have attached the "Desktop Entry" ( Icon ),
that opens Konqueror as a File Manager.
( Wonder, why it is not included in Kde4 / Mandriva 2009.1 ).

The suffix .txt should be removed before use.

Smile Dolphin

Thanks for the reply knudfl

Ok let me see in Dolphin I email info (files images etc ) as follow if you right click on say a image in Dolphin and you go to open with
you then find kmail it will attach the file to a e-mail so you can send it

What the lady's want is a way were if I choose open with kmail will be there and I don't need to go the long route of open with --Internet -- kmail does it make sense now sorry if my explanation was vague

The problem with that method also is you can only send one file at a time to kmail if you choose say 2 files , the system will open 2 instances of kmail, this office is all about e-mail and docs being send back and forth

So there must be away to add kmail to right click action meaning
(e-mail files) then this action will open kmail and the docs as a attachment in that e-mail

Thanks in advance
John

The text : KDE 3.5.x, don't know if KDE 4 will do it.
