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

=== ~~Wayland~~ ===

=== '''Open with menu fix''' ===

~~By default~~, ~~dolphin by itself is~~ not ~~packaged with wayland support~~. ~~This may cause you to get an error like this:~~

When using dolphin on other Desktop or Window Managers, the Open With menu may not show any applications.

~~''qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""''~~

~~To get wayland support~~, add the following ~~package~~:{{~~file~~|/etc/~~nixos~~/~~configuration~~.~~nix|nix|<nowiki>~~

A comprehensive solution can be found with [https://github.com/rumboon/dolphin-overlay rumboon's dolphin-overlay], but a more straight-forward fix would be to add the following line to your configuration file:

~~environment~~.~~systemPackages~~ = ~~with~~ pkgs~~; [~~ kdePackages.~~qtwayland ]~~;

{{File|3=environment.etc."xdg/menus/applications.menu".source = "${pkgs.kdePackages.plasma-workspace}/etc/xdg/menus/plasma-applications.menu";|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

If you need to mount network shares you can use KIO-Fuse: {{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>

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)

{{File|3=environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [

kdePackages.dolphin # This is the actual dolphin package
