Description Till Schäfer 2018-06-19 15:53:03 UTC

If a mail attachment is saved, a message pops up, that contains the button "Open folder where attachment was saved". The action of this button always triggers dolphin, even if another file manager (here: krusader) is selected in the system settings as the default file manager. 

Thus, kmail should respect the choice of the default file manager configured in the system settings.

We use:
KIO::highlightInFileManager(mUrls);
Please report it against kio package thanks

Krusader does not implement the org.freedesktop.FileManager1 interface. Only Dolphin (and Nautilus) do and are autostarted by DBus when a call is placed.

Comment 3 Till Schäfer 2018-06-27 15:15:21 UTC

Maybe a fallback would be good, that just starts the application if the current choice does not implement the DBUS interface. There may be a ton of other (maybe obscure) file managers or custom scripts (e.g., just drop to a shell) that do not implement the DBUS interface. 

Interestingly, the device manager respects my choice of file manager. Do they use KIO as well? Maybe, they have implemented a workaround?
