Description:

With GNOME 3.24.1 and xdg-utils 1.1.1-5, xdg-open on a directory does not work anymore. E.g.:

pc:~ xdg-open .
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio open' instead.
See 'gio help open' for more info.

Actually, on GNOME xdg-open just runs gvfs-open and it is the tool now depreciated:

pc:~ gvfs-open .
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio open' instead.
See 'gio help open' for more info.

xdg-utils was fixed last year to change from gvfs-open to gio open as per https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=0d6eebb27c562e8644ccf616ebdbddf82d0d2dd8 but it seems there has been no new release of xdg-utils. Could the Arch xdg-utils maintainer consider applying this patch?
This task depends upon

Actually, I found another Arch user has recently raised a bug about this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100862 so I added some info there.
