[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#488823: After removing thunar package mime entry doesn't restore
Package: thunar
Version: 0.4.0rc1-3
Severity: important
I'm using GNOME Desktop Environment. I was interested in
alternative file managers and tried to install Thunar file manager. I
don't know how but it became default file manager and when opening from
menu Places any location starts Thunar instead of Nautilus. When trying
to set up default application for the folder the field Open Folder could
not be selected and default is selected Open with Thunar. I removed
Thunar package but no result. This field is still present.
Also remained Application -> System -> Thunar file manager and Application -> System -> Packet rename from thunar package.
The solution was to replace in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
all x-directory/.*=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
with x-directory/.*=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
I suugested that after removing thunar package all default applications
for all mime types should be set.
