file browser window closing for no apparent reason

Post by jarednielsen »

HI all,
I hope this is in the right forum. Please move accordingly.
I'm recently experiencing some bizarre behavior with my file browser. I open it via the panel icon, select and open a file, say a video or pdf, spend some time doing whatever with that file, but while I'm not looking the file browser vanishes! The window is closing without any apparent reason. I haven't made any changes, that I'm aware of, that would cause this. I'm running Mint 16 64-bit with Cinnamon. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You could try opening the file browser (nemo) in terminal and look for errors there.

I had this problem and couldn't figure it out so I just reinstalled mint. I think the problem has to do with something recently done (by you) to the operating system.

Would this have anything to do with graphics driver? Or possibly Dropbox installation?

Yeah, maybe Dropbox.
