Re: [arch-general] Question regarding the default file manager in XFCE

I think this is handled by the same XDG 'mimeapps.list' which contains file type associations. Just add an entry for "inode/directory" pointing to Nautilus:

   ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

   [Default Applications]    inode/directory=nautilus.desktop

Tried that, didn't work. I even restarted X to be sure it's lodaded, but Thunar still always loads. I think the mimeapps.list may be on to something, not sure. I'll look into it more.
