How to change default file manager (Konqueror to Dolphin)

In Konqueror I can't trespass files from my Q4OS Trinity 64 bits to my android cellphone, but in Dolphin I can.
How to uninstall Konqueror o at least change as default Dolphin?
Greetings!

Re: How to change default file manager (Konqueror to Dolphin)

1. Don't uninstall konqueror: it would also uninstall kde-plasma-desktop and kde-baseapps.
2. Look (in Q4OS 4, maybe similar for Q4OS 5) at System settings > Applications > Default applications (not certain of the translation from French).

I have uninstalled konqueror, the system is working well so far. What are the potential problems that might emerge?

There is no primary config option to set a default file manager in TDE.
All you need is to install 'dolphin-trinity' from package in the from terminal:

In the terminal type: sudo apt install dolphin-trinity

You can also install dolphin-trinity using the Synaptic package manager.
