Sven, I have read this phrase many times in many posts, because I
also miss many things in dolphin.

But konqueror now is not "real" konqueror. It looks just like a
"wrapper" for dolphin. The goodies that konqueror had are gone. The
"information" given are exactly the same as in dolphin and not what
konqueror used to have.

So it is very easy to say "use konqueror", but its also quite useless
to say it, when konqueror doesn't really exist anymore...

If it still would exist, I wouldn't have to think a millisecond and
dolphin wouldn't receive one single click anymore in my life!

Eh? Konqueror hasn't been changed in ages, and certainly hasn't been
replaced by a dolphin wrapper. It should have all the features it
always did. What are you seeing that makes you think this, maybe it's
a bug?
I don't see a pop-up window with details for e.g. PDF and office files
when I hover the mouse pointer over a file icon.



Reading your other responses I think I now understand what you're getting at. Basically in KDE 4.3 (or 4.4 maybe) the file metadata was turned over to strigi/nepomuk so if you don't have them running + working + indexing the file in question, you don't get any of the file-specific metadata (in Dolphin or Konq, for pdfs/opendocument).

Personally I think this is a bit silly (run an indexer just to see info on one file?), but anyway, that's the answer to your question. Some googling will show you various discussions about it e.g. http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=62458&sid=385dc11a08f51bc7f0a7184fe7886ed2
