Tried searching, but didn't really find if this was already answered:
Can I somehow set NC to be the default File Browser, such as "Reveal in Finder" would show the file/folder in NC instead of Finder?
If yes, does it work well?
(While using Pathfinder, I could set it to be the default file browser, but it was somewhat buggy, often would only show the folder, not the file, until I issued the command again ...)
Default file browser?
Re: Default file browser?
You can try this:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=234
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=234
Re: Default file browser?
Thanks. It's still info.filesmanager.Files, even when the name is now Nimble?

Re: Default file browser?
Sadly that solution doesn't work in every case. Some apps use AppleEvents or AppleScript or something, and actually call Finder specifically to reveal a path, and then Finder will activate. It's annoying. But in many scenarios it works fine.
You could always try to change Finder's Info.plist in /System/Library/CoreServices, i.e. DisplayName, BundleID, and then transfer those to Nimble Commander… NC would then be called Finder and have the Bundle ID com.apple.Finder, but I'm not sure if this wouldn't cause some slight problems down the road, so I'd vote against such a hack.

Re: Default file browser?
Yes, I guess all Finder alternatives will have this issue.
Yes, that would be a pretty cool hack , but a bit drastic ...

Also, I guess I will need Finder every now and then, as there's some plugins/addons integrated there (cloud providers, pCloud/Dropbox etc) ...
