Application to handle directories in 6.0

[dihonomo]

To expand from my previous message (https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/secur...n/msg57569), I have found that the setting controlling what application opens directories (by default) is still problematic.

The file "exo-file-manager.desktop" has disappeared from "/usr/share/applications", and  "~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list" points now (via symlink) to "/etc/gnome/defaults.list" where the two entries controlling "inode/directory" assign "org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop" and "Thunar-folder-handler.desktop" to handle directories.

However, none of these exist on a clean Linux Lite 6.0 install.

My solution to the problem was to create "~.local/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop" that contains:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=exo-open --launch FileManager %u
Icon=system-file-manager
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
X-XFCE-MimeType=inode/directory;x-scheme-handler/trash;
Name=File Manager
Comment=Browse the file system
Hidden=true

and then to replace the two entries in "/etc/gnome/defaults.list":

Code:

inode/directory=org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
inode/directory=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop

with the following:

Code:

inode/directory=exo-file-manager.desktop
