Snap: Open Containing Folder does nothing in Kubuntu / KDE but works with Sublime-Text and Kate. #106168

Closed silocoder closed 3 years ago

silocoder commented 4 years ago

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to any file in Visual Code Explorer and Right Click
  2. Select Open Containing Folder.
  3. Dolphin file manager should open up. It does not!

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

P.S. This same open containing folder works with Sublime-Text 3 AND Kate (the default Kubuntu text editor)

Here is mime stuff:

$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory  
org.kde.dolphin.desktop

$ cat /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache | grep inode/directory
inode/directory=org.kde.dolphin.desktop;org.kde.gwenview.desktop;

$ xdg-open ~/Documents  # Works fine and opens Dolphin file manager

Additional info:

Tested using Linux Mint 20 (also Ubuntu based) and works fine with visual code opens up nemo.

Here are the xdg

~$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory  
nemo.desktop

~$ cat /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache | grep inode/directory
inode/directory=code.desktop;nemo.desktop;org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop;org.gnome.baobab.desktop;org.kde.dolphin.desktop;

~$ xdg-open ~/Documents  # works

Found the problem. Seems to be the packaging/installation when using Snap. If I use apt install works. Below are the meta data. Versions are the same.

Also if I change /snap/bin/code with /usr/share/code/code exec then it works.

Any thoughts?

Snap install fails to open containing folder.

I am sorry but I do not know how the snap install could cause this. Maybe @joaomoreno would know And I can keep this issue open for the community to chime in with potential solutions
