Open directory from Disks opens Devices & Locations instead of filemanager

Post by vansloneker »

When in Mint 20.1 XFCE in Disks clicking on the link of a mounted partition it is not opened in file manager but in Devices & Locations showing stats.
Actually the same as my recently posted complaint about opening the profile directory from Firefox.
I tried this on a fresh booted Live Image of 20.1 XFCE and it shows the exact same behavior.
Is this intended so or is it a bug? Is there any way to fix the command for clicking those links to open in file manager?

Hi vansloneker,

I had the exact same problem. This solved it for me. Open the "MIME Type Editor". Filter on "inode". You should now see an entry for inode/directory.
Right clicking on it will open a window with a list of options. Choose the option "exo-open". You may need to logout/in for this to work.

Hope this helps.

Hi GeneBenson,

I could double click it and select Thunar file manager.
Great! Thank you very much!
