Is there any way on Deepin where we can change the default file manager? There's is no options to do that directly on "Control Center > Default Applications". Even if I stick Nautilus(file manager) to dock, every other application like "Trash" and "Google Chrome" keep opening "Deepin File Manager" which becomes kinda annoying. Would love to know if somebody else has a fix to that.

Try this
gedit ~/.config/mimeapps.list
replace dde-file-manager with nautilus
Save the file
if you wish uninstall default file manager
logout / reboot

This broke a lot of my icons, I cant seen to open nautilus anymore and kept Deepin File Manager as default file manager. Can't open gedit and use gksudo nautilus either.
