A replacement for dolphin that can look just as pretty? (lemmy.world)

Moved to using KDE recently and it's everything I've ever wanted in aesthetics and customization. Unfortunately, dolphin doesn't refresh when files are moved around and while I tried to accept it, I just can't. Showing me where files are is literally the only job of a file manager.

Are there any other file managers that can take all the themes and colors in KDE? I love having a full theme but I can't stand this manual refresh thing.

What distro are you using?

Debian quite literally calls the package “dolphin” so running this command will purge it and reinstall it;

sudo apt purge dolphin; sudo apt install dolphin -y

I know the Windows version has issues updating folders live, but on my Debian machine have not encountered such issue.

Alternatively you can purge KDE itself and reinstall everything.

sudo apt purge *kde*; sudo apt install kde-full kde-standard kde-plasma-desktop task-kde-desktop sddm -y
