Baobab Disk Usage Analyzer Problem

I have installed Baobab to find out my disk usage in my XFCE desktop.
It works fine and has a simple understandable display of where my files are.

But if I right click on one of the folders it has scanned and select "Open Folder", an error message pops up saying :

Could not open folder "To Read"
There is no installed viewer capable of displaying the folder.

I was expecting Thunar to pop up showing the folder selected by Baobab.
In XFCE Settings/Preferred Applications, I have Thunar set as File Manager.

Thanks for helping.

Re: Baobab Disk Usage Analyzer Problem

I suspect that you have to set the default file manager in dconf, or gconf, or whatever GNOME 3 is using these days, considering baobab is a GNOME app, not an XFCE one.
