[Solved] show in folder --> vlc is open

Hi, I do not know what I've done but when I click on the option "show in folder" instead of open nautilus, vlc is open.

How can I fix that?

thanks

Inside of which tool are you clicking "show in folder"?

Seems to be related to Xdg-open.  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xd … figuration configure properly for inode/directory

Thanks for helping, but it seems that inode/directory is set correctly:

$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory
org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop

Re: [Solved] show in folder --> vlc is open

found the bug!

in my ~/.config/mimeapps.list
within the section [Added Associations]

there was this entry
inode/directory=vlc.desktop;

deleted it and now everything works as expected!

thanks @c0mm0ner for leading me on the right track!
