Disambiguation: Not to be confused with Dolphin Emulator.

Dolphin is the KDE desktop's file manager. When using dolphin without KDE, you may want to install some optional dependencies.

Troubleshooting

Open with menu fix

https://github.com/rumboon/dolphin-overlay

Icons

By default, dolphin by itself is not packaged with support for svg icons. This may result in blank icons.

To fix it, simply add the following package:

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ kdePackages.qtsvg ];

KIO-Fuse

If you need to mount network shares you can use KIO-Fuse:

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    kdePackages.kio # needed since 25.11
    kdePackages.kio-fuse #to mount remote filesystems via FUSE
    kdePackages.kio-extras #extra protocols support (sftp, fish and more)
];

Install

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    kdePackages.dolphin # This is the actual dolphin package
];
