Bug#561831: dolphin: "Open Containing Folder" doesn't open file browser but Okular
Package: dolphin
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
This bug is related to bug #490665 and #478309.
After Downloading a file in Iceweasel under KDE and right-clicking on the
filename in the download manager, you can choose the popup menu entry "Open
Containing Folder". This should open a filebrowser for the directory this file
was saved in. Instead it starts Okular, KDE's general document viewer, which
fails with an error message, because it can't handle URL which point to a
directory.
After searching around I found a solution to the problem which is described in
bug #490665.
* install xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
* changed MimeType entry in /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop to
MimeType=inode/directory;x-directory/normal;
* rebuild mimeinfo.cache (which is used by Iceweasel) by calling
'update-desktop-database'
Note: it may be possible other applications are assigned to the MimeType
x-directory/normal (in my case 'kde4-kid3.desktop'). Iceweasel will pick the
application in order provided in the mimeinfo.cache. I do not know how we can
influence this order (maybe with InitialPreference in the .desktop files).
