Hi all,
I installed Phatch the other day, and now when I go to "Places" -> "Home Folder" in Gnome, it opens the Phatch processing box and attempts to process every image in my home directory if I click 'OK' with a "Perspective Reflection" and "Round Corners Shadow" filter...
What happened?
I'm not game enough to try the other menu options, but I have used "Network" and "Connect to Server" which do work still.

Thanks tigrmesh - folders were indeed set to open with Phatch, but I've set it back to "Open Folder" instead of "Phatch" and there's still no joy

Have you tried the second one: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 39#p369439?

Solved. Thanks tigrmesh.
Here's what I did:
fukawi2 ~ $ sudo -i
Password:
root ~ # cd /usr/share/applications/
root /usr/share/applications # cp mimeinfo.cache mimeinfo.cache.BACKUP # Make a backup!
root /usr/share/applications # sed -i 's/phatch.desktop;//' mimeinfo.cache # Use sed to replace all instances of phatch.desktop with nothing
root /usr/share/applications # sed -i 's/phatch.desktop//' mimeinfo.cache # Again, but for the lines where there's no other applications listed
root /usr/share/applications # exit
fukawi2 ~ $ rm $HOME/.local/share/mime/mime.cache
fukawi2 ~ $ exit
Now my "Places" menu works properly again
Note: I replaced the preferences on everything - I don't want Phatch to open anything by default. I want to open Phatch, then process what I want with it! If you do want it to still open some things by default, then you'll need to be more picky about what to take out of mimeinfo.cache (I don't know exactly which line was the one I needed)
