I've been looking for a way to switch my default file manager for a long time.
Konqueror was good to start with but Dolphin becoming the default in KDE4 had me worried. Using Dolphin was not acceptable to me. Dolphin is just too simple for my use and it leaves all those hidden files in every folder it goes into.
I've known about Krusader for a long time but its really matured in the last year. I really wanted to find out how to launch it when clicking on the folder icons. All my attempts to change file associations for the folders seemed to fail.
After much googling, I found someone who was successful doing it in Gentoo. I tried it worked but broke my shortcut to launch krusader.
I therefore created 2 entries in my kmenu, one for launching when the shortcut is invoked and another for launching when an icon is clicked.
Use this to launch Krusader when clicking on a folder icon - '/usr/bin/krusader' --left /home/marcus/Desktop --right %u
User this to launch Krusader normally or from a shortcut - krusader -caption "%c" %i %m
Hope this is useful to someone.
