[solved] Some issues with MATE

[lleiria]

Hi,
That must be easy and dumb, but I don't know how to solve it. When I'm on the Mozilla Firefox box of recent downloads, choose one and right click to open its location, Firefox ask me what application do I want to use to make that. I think it's lost because of the change between nautilus and caja, but I don't know where is caja to tell Firefox to use it.
Also: after installing caja-gksu, when I want to open a place with "open as root", it tries to open with... VLC!! Probably, its the same issue...
Any help, please?

Ok, the first topic solved the firefox issue. Thanks, axl!
Nevertheless, I still can't open as root; the system tries to open the location with totem.
Still need some help...

axl,

OK, reading other topics, I changed

Code: Select all

inode/directory=totem.desktop;vlc.desktop;

to

Code: Select all

inode/directory=caja.desktop;

That solved the issue. The one thing I lost was the usual different color when I open as root. Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot
