Ubuntu – Change trash icon command in Unity

dolphinnautilustrashunity

I have recently replaced my default file manger from Nautilus to Dolphin, so I would like when I click on the trash icon (in left narrow panel), Dolphin opens trash folder not Nautilus. For this I've set Dolphin as the default file manger.

Now, when I click on the trash icon, Dolphin opens and shows a message saying

Malformed URL trash://

Apparently clicking on the trash icon causes a command to run. But in Dolphin URL trash:/ works fine.

How can I change the command that runs when user clicks on the trash icon? I should replace trash:// to trash:/ there.

Looks like it's a bug related to Dolphin with a fix on the way. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353181

Ubuntu – After upgrading to 13.04 clicking on trash gives “Malformed URL trash://”

Dolphin has a problem with handling paths pointing to 'Trash'. When launching the Trash by clicking on the trash can, the dolphin windows is launched with URL: trash:// which is not what it is expecting. Instead, according to dolphin, it is expecting the correct path to be trash:/ You may have (unintentionally) made dolphin the default file manager for opening windows. Undo that by following the steps below:

Install exo-utils
```
sudo apt-get install exo-utils
```
Run it
```
exo-preferred-applications
```
In the Utilities tab, under File Manager, select Nautilus back and select close.

After that, try to open trash again, it will open correctly in Nautilus, not in dolphin.
