User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070312 SeaMonkey/1.1.1 Build Identifier: After installing Thunar, when I open a folder from "places" gnome menu, it is opened using Thunar instead of nautilus. I thought that the problem was in /usr/share/applications/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop there is an incorrect mime that makes Thunar be used as default instead of nautilus UNDER GNOME, but seems that removing x-directory/gnome-default-handler is not enough :-/ Thanks a lot Reproducible: Always
23:51 <+drac> I still think it's about Thunar-folder.. nautilus-folder.. MimeType line which ends up in mimeinfo.cache 23:51 <+drac> But the real problem is with GNOME if they don't provide decent way to switch default filemanager. 23:52 <+drac> grep default /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache 23:53 < mlangc> i guess it's this one: 23:53 < mlangc> x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; 23:54 < mlangc> i can try to change the order of the folder-handlers ... 23:55 <+drac> MimeType line is there to say which types it can handle, if Thunar says it can handle x-directory/gnome-default-handler then it can. If gnome/gnome-panel can't handle the situation where other applications can handle x-directory/gnome-default-handler as well, it's at fault. 23:57 < mlangc> drac: it's the ordering that matters for gnome 23:58 < mlangc> i had these lines: 23:58 < mlangc> inode/directory=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; 23:58 < mlangc> x-directory/normal=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; 23:58 < mlangc> x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; 23:58 < mlangc> there i've swapped gnome-default-handler=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop and nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; 23:58 < mlangc> and now the panel prefers nautilus again
I'd say.. GNOME bug.
Well Thunar registers itself as capable file manager for GNOME, which means it can replace nautilus. Whether Thunar or nautilus is used depends on the configuration for the special MIME type. So, it's neither a bug in Thunar nor in GNOME, it's just a broken setup.
