i’ve been running Manjaro gnome for a while now and there’s one thing that keeps bugging me, if i open my USB from the desktop (using Desktop Icons NG) or from arc menu it opens in ranger… now, i don’t want it opening there, i want it to open in nautilus… Is there any way to change that? i’ve been looking for a bit but i can’t find anything to change it
xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory
EDIT:
oh thats the old way; bill_t solved it correctly

Question:
all the same in a new created /home/test account?
(y/n)
The desktop file of Nautilus in /usr/share/applications/ is called org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop, so in a terminal window try the following command
xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory
and see if that works.
