(in Gnome) KTorrent "open folder" starts Banshee

  • 772

KTorrent once used to ask me what program to use (and I could tell it to use Nautilus), but now it only ever opens Banshee...which is less than useful.

Can anyone tell me how to explain to its tiny KDE brain that I want to use Nautilus to browse a folder?

Edit: after belatedly checking ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list it did only list banshee and vlc for inode/directory, though why this is so is a mystery. After changing the setting KTorrent then once again asked me for a choice of program and I could check the ‘remember this choice’ checkbox.

    The tiny KDE brain uses the xdg-open standard for determining which application to open for a specific mimetype.

    In the GNOME system settings, I think it can be found under Details>Default Applications, but I don't have a GNOME install to verify.

    If you have KDE System Settings installed (the systemsettings package), then you can go to Workspace Appearance and Behavior->Default Applications->File Manager, then find nautilus and select it.

    To do it manually, the file to modify is ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. Content of the file should be:

inode/directory=nautilus-2.desktop;
