Can I change LXDE default file browser to [duplicate]

  • 772

I have to use LXDE as my DE because of the age of my computer/hardware, and I like it a lot, but I also like using Nautilus as my File Manager (it appears to have more options) for basic file browsing.

If I can I would like to change my default file manager from pcmanfm to Nautilus. I know this is possible, but the things I have seen, nothing seems to work the way I want it to.

Thanks!

  1. Look Manual Method section of Ubuntu Documentation. Probably you should only edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file. Add two lines:

    inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

    If there already is line as

    inode/directory=pcmanfm.desktop

    just remove it.
