--- Comment #2 from Ken K <kkin...@gmail.com> ---
If I use "Open Containing Folder" in Gwenview, it does seem to open in
Nautilus. However, if from the shell I use xdg-open on a folder, it opens in
Dolphin. That is strange, because if I directly query xdg-mime, it definitely
shows dolphin:
$ xdg-mime query default "inode/directory"
org.kde.dolphin.desktop
So the xdg default is definitely dolphin. And it seems like Spectacle and
Gwenview are perhaps ignoring that or there's another setting that isn't clear
to me that's controlling how they open files?
In terms of having different defaults between KDE Plasma and Gnome: I believe
how that works is, if you login to Plasma, it puts its directories first in
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS; whereas Gnome puts its directories first. Thus whatever
desktop environment you login as gets precedence for its *.desktop files,
because it's first in the list. I could be mistaken about that, though at least
on Ubuntu/Kubuntu, that *seems* to be the behavior as far as I can tell.
Having said that, it's possible (likely) that I'm mistaken. If I've sent this
bug report to the wrong project, or if it's not really a bug at all, I'd
appreciate any guidance.
