Change default file manager in Plasma 5.3

[Clay Weber]

Do note that the file-picker is not the same thing as Dolphin, just for clarity's sake.
The native KDE file picker should be configurable to show previews, Dolphin's Places as the like just as it always has. I know I use both of these nearly daily for previewing pics and browsing a remote location.
I'm away from home so I can't specify what and where to change settings specifically, but the top bar on the picker has icons that toggle things, and depending on screen resolution, one may have to increase the preview/icon size for previews to be visible.

I agree, with the new dolphin there isn't a way to set the folders to have preview in the file picker of apps like chrome. and by preview i mean the same preview that i get in just pure dolphin. so when the file picker opens up i see every picture and can pick at a mere glance which file i want. The new dolphin acts like gnome file picker (yuck) and i have to select each file before i see a preview.....
This behavior isn't going to stay is it?

Why are my applications not using it then? I'm very confused.

I've been using 15.04 for a couple of days now, and am frustrated by what appears to be the new file manager, especially in applications like Kate which I use to edit files directly on remote servers. In Dolphin I could specify several remote server and get to them from any application, but now I can't.
Is there a way to make Dolphin my default file manager? Or, at least, add network locations to the new default file manager?
