Strawberry & Easytag

ashley194

Hi all, First off, I'm running Debian 12.6 "Bookworm" KDE DE.

In Strawberry, every time I select 'Show in file browser' in the context menu it opens up Easytag instead of the Dolphin file manager!

Any reason why that would be?

Thanks in advance!

Well that's certainly a bit odd.

Try running:

xdg-mime query default inode/directory

If I understand the code correctly (I've much experience neither in C++ nor Qt), this is the command Strawberry uses to find your default file manager.

If it's something other than Dolphin, just go to Default Applications in KDE settings and change Utilities/File Manager to Dolphin.

See if that works!

Open a terminal.
Execute

xdg-open .

to see if it opens Dolphin. If not, you might need to fix the association. Sometimes xdg-open might be pointing to the wrong application. If xdg-open is opening files with the wrong application, you can fix this by adjusting your MIME type associations or setting the correct default application for handling specific types of files.

EXAMPLES

For Directories (typically handled by file managers like Dolphin):

xdg-mime default dolphin.desktop inode/directory

or, i.e. For Text Files:

xdg-mime default kate.desktop text/plain

or, For PDF Files:

xdg-mime default okular.desktop application/pdf

the query mistekko sent is very useful to debug which default application is set for opening folders, which is the case. The first command I sent is useful to actually test if the problem lies in Strawberry or system-wide.
