Ubuntu - using Dolphin File Manager instad of Gnome Nautilus

Friday 30th May, 2008

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with gnome deskopt. After I saw a live demo from KDE 4.1 and Dolphin File browser I decide to change my default file browser form Nautilus to Dolphin.
Installing Dolphin in Gnome is no problem - applications are now runnable in both desktops!

To change the default browser form Nautilus to Dolphin you have to edit the file

/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

and change "nautilus --no-desktop %U" to "d3lphin" and it should cause all file handling to be done by d3lphin. This worked perfect. See also :
