I want to set Thunar as my default file manager. The answers given here and here did not help me.

For instance, I already have Thunar as the preferred File Manager

thunar_default

But when I use a dialog box to open a file, I still get Nautilus:

still_nautilus

So how do I set Thunar as the default file manager?

It may be the case that I do not understand what "being the default file manager" means. What I want is to use Thunar all around, as it would be (I think) expected when one changes the file manager to Thunar.

Here is some possibly relevant version information:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:        18.04
Codename:       bionic

GNOME nautilus 3.26.4

Thunar 1.6.15 (Xfce 4.12)
