How to set the File Manager in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I've been using Show in file manager option in Idea actively enough. But some time ago it has got broken suddenly: now it opens "Sublime 2" text editor instead of "Thunar" file manager. Where can I configure this?

Answer 1

Check the default File Manager for your desktop environment. On Fedora with Gnome, I used the following command:

xdg-mime query default inode/directory

In my case it showed Dolphin, which is not what I wanted:

org.kde.dolphin.desktop

To change it to Nautilus I then ran the command:

xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory

Re-launch IDEA for the changes to take effect.

You can also check your default File Manager by opening it with the command

xdg-open ~

Which will open your home directory with the default File Manager.

The user settings are stored at ~/.config/mimeapps.list

Answer 2

For whatever reason Sublime changed the association for the "folder" type.

On Ubuntu / Mint, the best way that I found is to use ubuntu-tweak. From this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11364855&postcount=23

• UbuntuTweak -> File Type Manager -> All -> folder
• click edit
• click add
• change to Nautilus [or your file manager] ( also called File Browser )
