[Solved]Gnome Places Extension Links Error

As the title states, they are not pointing to the proper places.  For instance, when I click the home link it opens up an IDE called anjuta... Infact all links in the places menu point here. Nautilus is set as the default file manager, I have gone through various files and gconf-editor to change the menu.

No Joy.

Any help would be appriciated as searching on google has lead to no change.

Re: [Solved]Gnome Places Extension Links Error

i have this problem as well. Firefox open file location in the download dialog links there as well. I wonder why this even is set up in the first place.

Re: [Solved]Gnome Places Extension Links Error

I'm having this issue as well right now. When opening a location from the Places extension in the Gnome3 top bar, Audacious starts scanning that location for songs...
Looking in the /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list file learns me that Audacious, Easytag and as third option Nautilus are set for inode/directory.

I changed it back a couple of days ago, it was working correctly until my next update with pacman. Something triggered the 3 applications again for inode/directory and I would have to correct it again. But what is making this change? How is the mimeapps.list populated?

Re: [Solved]Gnome Places Extension Links Error

for me it was the  /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list
where I changed the line „inode“into

inode/directory=nautilus.desktop;easytag;anjuta.desktop;

This effects the favourite action of mounted external drives too, which opt for opening with nautilus per default now.

Re: [Solved]Gnome Places Extension Links Error

I have the same problem. I've searched for the mimeapps.list and I only find it on /home/myuser/.config
I've tried to put nautilus.desktop on the place you say:

inode/directory=nautilus.desktop;exo-file-manager.desktop

But it doesn't work.
