Icon-set just for dolphin?

I have checked a few iconsets for getting othere icons in Dolphin. But then they apply to every thing else in the kde desktop, which I don;t want.

So how to accomplish that?

Could I install an icon-pack and just delete the icons I don’t want. Only keep the icons in the ‘places’ folder? And would there be a fallback-icon for the icons I deleted? Are they stacked (like a css file can overwrite any previous loaded css file)

Or just overwrite by copy-pasting other icons so all my desired icons are in one iconpack?
If so, which path to find the iconpacks, after they downloaded?

Does KDE/Dolphin only work with .svg images? Or can .png images also be used? (In that case I could copy from any iconpack from the Mint iconpacks, which are .png icons).

Another option could be to tell Dolphin to use another icon-set. There is probably some file in Dolphin with settings, pointing to the used template. It’s not an option in the dolphin-settings (althou it could be, and that would be great!).

In which Dolphin-file would I have to be to edit the icon-set-path?

A bit vague question. If it’s just the places stuff you need, you could edit the icon index file.

A simple example with some papirus set.
This one inherits from the papirus icon set:

This one has been changed to inherit from breeze:

edit the icon index file

Where can this be found?

In two locations. One is in a root directory, /usr/share/icons. Those come with the system.
The one you’re looking for is in ~/.local/share/icons. If you installed some icon set, it’ll be there.
For example:
