Gnome-shell 3.6 (Testing/Gnome-testing)

When right clicking on a file or downloaded file, and click the option Open Containing Folder in the context menu, the program Disk Usage Analyzer opens, instead of Files/Nautilus.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks,
This task depends upon

baobab.desktop registers as a MIME handler for inode/directory. We really need to set sane defaults for file associations. There is a AUR package that copies everything from Ubuntu but that does not fit quite well: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Tips#Default_applications

report this issue upstream please.

It would be really cool if they implemented some priority system upstream (KDE has this), but this problem is really old and I don't know if they ever get it fixed. :/

If you think baobab.desktop is the issue, you might also have another filemanager installed which must have this association. Then the default filemanager is purely random (depends on the filesystem, same thing with browser, image-viewer, text-editor etc.). But I also don't understand why baobab got this association. It doesn't seem wrong but it has no positive effect in Gnome itself.

Installing the aur-package gnome-defaults-list, fixes the problem.
It could be that the default file-manager was not set as it should be.

Thanks Matthias for the help.

Closing this issue for now. :)

@wonder: will do

it happens because baobab exports the mimetype.

You should report that upstream and paste the link here or at least, add me to cc or at least paste the link here.

I've reported this upstream against Baobab: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687598

I had trouble adding a CC for you - perhaps you have to be registered there for that to work.
