I installed Easytag on my computer to realize, after installing it, whenever i click on places->home folder, in gnome, instead of openning my home folder, Easytag is Started
Weird issue.... anyone has a clue for fixing this?
Thanks!!

Start Nautilus for ex with: Applications -> System Tools -> File Browser
Select a directory and right-click on it.
Choose Properties and the "Open With" tab
Choose Open Folder

Actually, im stil having some problems.........
The workaround before explayed works for nautilus, and common file browsing:
Yesterday, i was downloading something with firefox, and, when this finished downloading, on the downloads screen, i right-clicked on the "open containing folder" option, easytag appeard in front of me again.....
....
damn.....
Still looking for a solution........

I think I found a solution for this little problem. At least it works for me.
In the file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache there is a line that reads
x-directory/normal=easytag.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;pcmanfm-folder-handler.desktop;pcmanfm.desktop;pcmanfm-find.desktop;
All I did was remove the easytag part from this line and places open like they should. So now it reads
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;pcmanfm-folder-handler.desktop;pcmanfm.desktop;pcmanfm-find.desktop;
If I try to open a folder from the firefox download window, I am asked what application I want to use. I never used this function before, so I don't know if what I did to the mime file had any impact on it.
But I do know that you can set what application firefox uses from within the firefox settings
Edit -> Preferences -> Applications
Hope this helps

Thanks for the help:
I actually found this line in that file you said:
x-directory/normal=easytag.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
And i just changed it to
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;easytag.desktop;
The problem is gone forever now (i hope)
Thanks!!!

I'm sorry to resurrect an old topic, but this *seriously* aggravated me when I ran into it today, and no solutions on the net I found worked. I finally did get it "fixed" via..
Probably necessary:
1) changing the corresponding line in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache **AND** ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
to..
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
2) editing ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and removing the easy tag entry on the inode/directory= line (it was at the front -- i got rid of it)
Maybe unnecessary:
3) opening /usr/share/applications/easytag.desktop and finding the line
MimeType=
and removing the "normal" entry from it, leaving just ogg and mp3 stuff
Probably unnecessary:
4) totally removing ~/.local/share/applications/easytag.desktop. probably would work fine with just the above, maybe repeat step 3 on it for best results?
Across different distros the locations of the files may vary. Some other distros also mention a defaults.list with some problem identical to the above, presumably similar to mimeapps.list.

For me #2 worked.

This worked for me on an Ubuntu 9.10, altough easytag was never installed before. Transmission and Mplayer where just before nautilus in the list, i moved the latter ahead and the problem was solved. Thank you

This also worked for me! This was driving me crazy.

I solved this EasyTag bug with #2 and get how to set pcmanfm as default.
thanks.

And the winner is:
xdg-mime default Thunar.desktop inode/directory
