I'm running pcmanfm with fairly fresh reinstall of openbox and I'm still struggling to get my xdg/mimeinfo stuff straightened out.
I've installed both lxmenu-data and gnome-menus and when I right click on a file and select "open with" it is blank. Nothing is listed. Doing the same with Thunar works like expected.
Also, the "applications" menu/shortcut section of pcmanfm is curiously empty even after installing gvfs.
I'm trying to figure out if it's just a package that I'm missing because my previous install had it working fine. (I habitually reinstall just to update my documentation...what can I say, I'm strange)
Thanks!

Do you have libfm installed?
You don't need gnome-menus by the way.

yeah, libfm is installed.
(I installed gnome-menus based on a tip from the forums that suggested it as a possible solution)
Are people having better luck with the git version of libfm/pcmanfm?

I'm using -git and it works okay there.

Great, thanks!
Before I try that though I'll likely dig around a bit more. I think it's related to some filetype / mime issues.
I just tried to open a .torrent file with
mimeopen -d /path/to/file
and I got the error: "No applications found for mimetype: application/x-bittorrent"
damn.

ok, I just installed pcmanfm-git and libfm-git. Still having the same problem. Any suggestions?

Hmm, reboot, just in case?

funny you should mention that...I had the same thought right before I posted...
**EDIT**
Got it! Deleted the "menus" folder in ~/.cache and now apps sidebar is working as is the "open with" dialog.
Thanks!
