VSCode opens automatically when I plug in a mass storage device or click on "open with File Manager" (dolphin)

[moefear85]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No yes

• VS Code Version:
• 1.93
• OS Version:
• Kubuntu 23.10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. plug in msc
2. click on "open with file manager"

I think vscode helped itself to auto-handle some mime-type that I did not ask it to, which usually gets handled by dolphin. Please don't do this microsoft. undo it. really lame mcro d*** move. vscode is awesome, but disguisting to consider itself anywhere close to a sufficient replacement for dolphin.

You can change what is launched for opening a directory via the Default Application chooser application in your DE (for example, KDE has it in the settings) or just change it throughout the system via xdg-mime.

To change it back to dolphin, you can use xdg-mime default dolphin.desktop inode/directory inode/mount-point and then try again after logging in. Depending on the DE, it might get overridden with DE's default application first so try checking your DE's Default Application settings first.
