Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package When the information panel was detached on closed (like this: http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dolphinge5.png) and you then try to start it again, nothing happens. Not even an error message is shown. You have to delete ~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc in order to make it start again. When starting dolphin in the console window it displays the following erros: [mike@mike-desktop share]$ dolphin dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::KDirWatchPrivate: Available methods: ("Stat", "INotify") dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::addEntry: Added File "/home/mike/.local/share//user-places.xbel" NotExisting for "" ["KDirWatch-1"] dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: trying to use inotify for monitoring dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::addEntry: Added Dir "/home/mike/.local/share" for "/home/mike/.local/share//user-places.xbel" [""] dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: trying to use inotify for monitoring dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: inotify successfully used for monitoring dolphin(4104)/kio (bookmarks) KBookmarkManager::KBookmarkManager: starting KDirWatch for "/home/mike/.local/share//user-places.xbel" dolphin(4104)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-mike/ksycoca4" dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirListerCache) KDirListerCache::listDir: Listing directory: KUrl("trash:/") dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirLister) KDirLister::stop: dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirLister) KDirLister::stop: dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirListerCache) KDirListerCache::listDir: Reloading directory: KUrl("file:///home/mike") dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::addEntry: Added Dir "/home/mike" for "" ["KDirWatch-2"] dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: trying to use inotify formonitoring dolphin(4104)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: inotify successfully usedfor monitoring ASSERT: "(*it).isValid()" in file /home/sandsmark/kde41/kdelibs/src/kdelibs-4.1.1/kio/kio/previewjob.cpp, line 565 <unknown program name>(4103)/: Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed.
