Hey all! The primary issue is in the title - Dolphin doesn't play nice w/ files on my home server. I'm able to view, copy, move, or delete them just fine via SMB, but Dolphin acts as if there is no associated software for any file type. Nemo works without issue, but I prefer Dolphin's customization and feature set.

Any idea what could be wrong? I'm a big Linux newb, so I'm still figuring this all out.

If you're saying everything works fine with local files, but just not remote ones, then it's a mime types problem.

Have a look and see if this is useful: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1bd313p/dolphin_not_recognizing_file_associations/

If not, there's another angle to attack.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
