Hi All

I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed with both Gnome and KDE.

I was wondering how to make 'Dolphin' my default file browser in Gnome.

If this is possible, how?

The attached link shows how to change every other file manager except for Dolphin :-(

Many thanks

Garry

I assume you all ready have dolphin installed if not run sudo apt-get install Dolphin

then right click on any folder go to tab "open with" and dolphin should be listed there click it apply the setting and all your files should open in Dolphin now.

*edit* this worked when i clicked "home" but not when i clicked the folder on my desktop that i appled it to hope it works for u!
