Select your file manager #458

Closed gl00ten closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm on manjaro/arch When I open a folder, it opens another software, not thunar.

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe be able to change the file manager / filemanager command?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

FSearch uses the default file manager (according to the Freedesktop specification). So most likely Thunar just isn't configured as your default file manager.

This should be easy to fix: With gio mime inode/directory you can query which application is registered as your default file manager and with gio mime inode/directory thunar.desktop you can set Thunar as your default file manager.

Let me know if that solves your issue.

$ gio mime inode/directory Default application for “inode/directory”: qdirstat.desktop Registered applications: qdirstat.desktop thunar.desktop Recommended applications: qdirstat.desktop thunar.desktop

yeh. thanks it was like the above. now it changed the default to thunar :)
