Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Some applications can change the default application to open directories from
nautilus to another application. For example, I did it once with Krusader by
following these steps:
1) Right-click any folder in Krusader
2) Choose "Open with -> Other..."
3) Choose any application (e.g. I chosed smplayer because I wanted it to play
this directory as a DVD Video)
4) Mark "Remember association for this type of file
>From now on, clicking Places -> any folder causes Smplayer to open the
directory. There is no easy way to fix this as directory properties
window in Nautilus doesn't have a tab to set a default application (it
only has one for files). The only way to fix this is editing
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file manually which is not
especially user-friendly.
Proposed fixes:
a) Add a tab in directory properties for setting a default application for
opening it.
b) Don't allow to open directories in any program besides Nautilus regardless
other settings.
