Unfortunately this is a longstanding bug in the freedesktop spec that governs opening the default filemanager. When more than one filemanager is installed, and neither is running, it opens a random one rather than the one you've selected as the default one. Fedora currently works around this by keeping a minimal Dolphin daemon constantly running when you're in a Plasma session so that Dolphin always opens. Kai, do you remember any way for us to fix this on our end, or the URL a bug report upstream? |
Created attachment 151126 [details] KRunner launches non-default file manager (Thunar) with 'Open Containing Folder'. SUMMARY The bug is difficult to describe. If I were to type the preferred folder in KRunner, it shows up as a 'Recent' location. If I click in the center of the drop-down list, it launches Dolphin (the default file manager). However, if I click the folder icon to 'Open Containing Folder' (Shift + Enter), it launches Thunar, the non-default file manager. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KRunner. 2. Type location. 3. Press center of drop-down list to navigate to location. 4. Repeat steps 1-2, but press the folder icon (Open Containing Folder) instead. OBSERVED RESULT Can launch two different file manager (default and non-default) depending on where the drop-down list was clicked or the keys used to select the entry (Enter vs. Shift + Enter). EXPECTED RESULT Always launch the default file manager in KRunner locations. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.4 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.14.21-150400.24.11-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4000 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 2347G2U System Version: ThinkPad T430 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have both XFCE and Plasma installed, but I used SDDM to start the session and the session environment variable reads 'KDE'. Dolphin is the default application for folder/inode in File Associations. I'm wondering if there was some black magic (Read: override) involved with the XFCE session. I've attached a video of the bug in action.
