[ABANDONED] Can't open mounted directories with Thunar from Veracrypt

Hi.

After updating my Arch Linux GNOME installation on June 11, Veracrypt seems to have an issue interacting with Thunar. I can mount an encrypted volume just fine but when I right or double click on the mounted directory in the Veracrypt GUI, it throws this error in a new window:

No such file or directory:
nautilus

VeraCrypt::Process::Execute:88

I don't have Nautilus currently installed even though I tried it once or twice on this installation. So, I looked for leftovers in my configuration files but I didn't find anything in the mimeapps.list file. Querying the XDG database from the CLI also told me Thunar was already the default program for opening directories:

ambos:~ xdg-mime query default inode/directory
thunar.desktop

The only thread I found on the official Veracrypt bug tracker that could be related to this issue is a very old one and it seems to have been patched.
https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/dis … /a5ffedec/

Is there a way to tell Veracrypt to use Thunar instead of Nautilus to open mounted directories?
