[SOLVED] Nautilus as default file manager
Hi
I installed Nautilus and set it as default in "System -> Edit Debian alternatives", but when i for example click on folder inside browser it's still opening Thunar.
Any way to fix that?

Re: [SOLVED] Nautilus as default file manager
Which browser is this?
Please post the output of:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/bl-file-managerOn my BL system, I have switched from thunar to spacefm and firefox(-esr) opens folders correctly with that program when asked.

Re: [SOLVED] Nautilus as default file manager
Ha! Got it!
@OP: try:
exo-preffered-applicationsThen go to Utilities and change the File Manager to:
bl-file-managerIt should then work.

Re: [SOLVED] Nautilus as default file manager
The OP has gone to Ubuntu so I have marked the thread as [SOLVED] on their behalf.

This fix should be built-in when the BL Deuterium packages eventually get released...
