VS Code and File Manager

[freggel.doe]

Default Option when clicking / opening a Folder

Open a terminal window an run this command: xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory Alternatively, you can set the option in the ~/.config/mimeapps.list file (in the [Default Applications] section): inode/directory=org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop

Xdg-open not opening file manager Nautilus as default instead open VLC

You can check the mime type of . with mimetype . . This should be the output: .: inode/directory Now you can check the output of xdg-mime query default inode/directory. If its not nautilus, you can make it the default with: xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory Also why not use nautilus /home/file.txt ?
