In the repositories of 15.10 there is a package called dolphin4, this software I use to my main file manager, this is the same that dolphin but working the search option. I know is necessary to install dome services, but is very fantanstic.

Oh no, maybe I've not clearly described the issue with this. I am able to install Nautilus and set it as the default file manager. The problem is that I have not been able to access its preferences, because the Xfce-menu links still open the Thunar settings and I have not been able to access the Nautilus menu bar with Alt+F10 or by any other means. Because of this, Nautilus always resets itself to icon-view upon closing, which is a bit unfortunate, because I tend to work with list- or detail-views in the folders mostly and I basically have to set this every time when launching the file manager. Accessing any other settings is not possible either at this point. It's really a matter of convenience for me, but not being able to access an alternative file manager's preferences might be an issue. Like I mentioned, I also can't find a terminal command for it, such as "nautilus-preferences/-settings" or anything similar. I also just realised that Nautilus is not really popular among the community apparently, I just haven't used any other file manager in the past and I've never experienced any particular problems with it personally, so this was my first choice after Thunar became too impractical to use for me. If there is another favourite file manager for someone here, maybe I could try that one instead and see if it works better in terms of integration and stability.
