Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: gcc-4.3.4 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I have both gnome 2.26 and kde 4.3.1 installed on my gentoo box, on first kde login if I go to Computer->Home I get nautilus opened instead of dolphin, if I (in kde) set favourite file manager to dolphin Computer->Home gets opened by dolphin but if I logout and login in gnome Places->Home is opened in dolphin. Obviously if I set back favourite file manager to "open file" I get home opened by nautilus also in KDE. I would like to have nautilus as default file manager for gnome and dolphin for kde like it was before. I simply updated kde from 3.5.10 to 4.3.1 (gnome 2.26 was here before), with 3.5.10 I didn't have this kind of file manager problem (konqueror for kde and nautilus for gnome).
I reported this issue also to gnome and gentoo bugzilla : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598934 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289561
Reassigning. This is likely intentional, and part of the XDG spec....
Someone pointed me to xdg-open but xdg-open is a script that accordingly to DE opens a different script, for example gnome-open if the DE is gnome and kfmclient exec if the DE is kde. So the problem could be in gnome-open and the kfmclient exec for kde. Is there any way to have any DE using their own file-manager or in other words to have the file manager setting to be local to each DE ?
Created attachment 38906 [details] file manager wrapper script I wrote a script that detects the running DE , (I simply copied that method from xdg-open) and read a config file named /etc/fmwrapper.conf and it opens the configured per-desktop file manager accordingly. It is really simple and for now it uses a wide-system settings but it can easily modified to work for per-user settings. I hope that someone will find it useful. To solve mine issue I simply set in kde fav applications this script as my favourite file-manager. For now it works for GNOME,KDE and XFCE.

Does this still happen in Plasma 5.18 when both GNOME and Plasma are installed?
