Standard app for path links

Hi,

I'm sure it's already been answered, but I don't know the right search terms.

I have the following problem: When I click on links that are supposed to open a folder, i.e. Nautilus, VSCodium opens and I can't find where I can change this.

I can reproduce this relatively easily, if I open gnome-disk-utility and click on the Contents link, vscodium opens.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Standard app for path links

You need to configure the proper default application for the inode/directory "file": https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xdg-utils#xdg-settings https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Default_applications

What's your environment? If it has custom tools to set file associations use those, otherwise check the xdg-settings utility.

I use Gnome

Does this mean I have to set the following?
xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory

For example, but gnome should actually have a dedicated option in it's settings that might be more suited to change this, or rather the gio command

gio mime inode/directory org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
