I have a stupid issue in Chromium for a while (it hasn't been there for always). I use Openbox as a standalone WM without any DE, and I Thunar as FM. When I start Chromium from the OB menu or by typing Alt-F2 with gm-run, I'm unable to open the containing folder after a download. No warnings. But, on the other hand, when I type chromium from the console, "Show in folder" works like a charm.
Anybody can offer som help, or at least tell me how can I debug the program so I can find the error?
Thanks!

At least, is there any way of debugging the program when it's started from the menu or the application launcher?

It might be a XDG issue. This is how I fixed it:
$ which xdg-open
/usr/bin/xdg-open
$ sudo nano /usr/bin/xdg-open
Go down towards the bottom and change this section,
generic)
open_generic "$url"
;;
to look like this,
generic)
thunar "$url"
;;
Keep in mind that this probably not the appropriate way of correcting this issue, but it works. You might want to backup /usr/bin/xdg-open before modifying it.

Alternatively just install perl-file-mimeinfo and see if it helps.

I don't think is a xdg issue, because xdg-open works nicely on its own.
And perl-mime-mimeinfo doesn't appear to exist. Did you mean perl-mime-types?

@ Juanlu001, actually anonymous_user said,
perl-file-mimeinfo
and not
perl-mime-mimeinfo
It's a great package, i switched to it from xdg-mime and it's present in extra repo.

Ooops
