When you right-click on a folder in Dolphin and mouse over to "Open With", what does it show? It shows: Gwenview Visual Studio Code Thanks. So when you left-click on a folder in Dolphin, it opens in VSCode? No. If i select "View Timeshift logs" in Timeshift, it opens the folder in VS Code. In System settings i have set the folders to open in Dolphin by default. So the bug only happens when you open a folder from the Timeshift app? Not any other apps? No. "Open Directory" from about:support in Firefox also opens in VS Code. For comparison when i download a file in Firefox and select "Open containing folder" it opens Dolphin. There might be some useful info in the VS Code report above. Please attach the following files: ~/.config/mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list I do not have: /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list I am uploading: ~/.config/mimeapps.list /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Created attachment 139154 [details]

/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Okay, so the problem has become obvious. Your /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache has: inode/directory=code.desktop;org.kde.dolphin.desktop;org.kde.gwenview.desktop; Which means that the system thinks VSCode should be the preferred app to open folders. Your ~/.config/mimeapps.list file lacks any line with "inode/directory=[something]" on it. So the system is falling back to an alphabetical list of all apps capable of opening folders, and VSCode's .desktop file randomly happens to have a reverse-DNS-style identifier that is alphabetically first. If that wasn't the case, Dolphin would be used instead and no one would be the wiser. :) By contrast, my ~/.config/mimeapps.list file has this in it, in the [Default Applications] group: inode/directory=org.kde.dolphin.desktop; Can you send screenshot of how the "Default Applications" page in System Settings looks for you?

I've also got this.

image/jpeg settings
I also have a related issue. I've downloaded an "image/jpeg" to the Desktop. If i open it from the list of downloads in Firefox (the down arrow near the address bar) it opens in Google Chrome, not in Gwenview. If i open it from the desktop icon it opens in Gwenview.
Can you do me a favor and set the default file manager to something else, click apply, and then set it back to Dolphin, and see if that fixes it? I tried both first changing to Ark and then back to Dolphin (without ticking "Remember application association for types inode/directory"), and also changing to Ark and back to Dolphin (with ticking "Remember application association for types inode/directory" on each change) - it didn't work. I haven't logged out and in though. Welp, I'm confused. Since then I've completely clean reinstalled and moved to Arch, respectively newer versions of KDE software. It is interesting that now i have an HTML file on my Desktop, which when i open by double-clicking first opens the Konqueror browser but does not load in it, instead after Konqueror is opened then Firefox opens side-to-side and the file is shown in Firefox. Right clicking on the file properties says "Open with: Konqueror". But in System Settings -> Default applications it shows "Web browser: Firefox". Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.10-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 7,6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 I just came across this, and there had been a similar problem reported to Solus. It turned out to be a packaging issue. The distro has to correctly handle the mimeapps.list. Ref: https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/1470 Almost! It's actually a VSCode issue itself. See Bug 474920. It was fixed just a few months ago. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 474920 *** |
