Ludovic, Timeshift first uses xdg-open to call the default tool of your desktop environment as it in turn calls gvfs-open, kde-open, exo-open, gnome- open, etc. as appropriate. On my Debian desktop with KDE running xdg- open and kde-open launche Dolphin, but on my Pop_OS laptop xdg_open is not installed and there is no gvfs-open for some reason. In the event that xdg_open fails, Timeshift tries in order to launch nemo, nautilus, thunar, io.elementary.files, pantheon-files, marlin, and dolphin lastly. In your case it seems that maybe xdg-open is resulting in "code" being called due to your Gnome settings. The command `xdg-mime query default inode/directory` should report out what the default file browser is set to. You can also look in ~/.config/mimeapps.list to see what it is set to. I think you can just edit this file or run a command similar to `xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory` to make a change. Please let me know how this works out as it may be worth asking upstream for a more robust means of opening the default file manager. Thanks -Steve
Steeve, Okay. I see the catch! The command `xdg-mime query default inode/directory` returns org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop (as expected) when I run it as my user. But, as Timeshift runs as root, if I run the same xdg-mime command as root I get `code.desktop` :( root doesn't have any `~/.config/mimeapps.list file`. And it sure won't use the settings I have in my account. After purging the VSCode package, the xdg-mime returns org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop as one would expect. As root, `xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory` creates the cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list enforcing nautilus as the default application. Fixing the behaviour when VSCode is installed. A diff of my /etc folder after VSCode install show this change brought by the package. Adding VSCode for inode/directory if I understand it properly : ``` diff --git a/mailcap b/mailcap index 7167022..2d64e78 100644 --- a/mailcap +++ b/mailcap @@ -84,6 +84,10 @@ application/xhtml_xml; /usr/bin/chromium %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/x-mimearchive; /usr/bin/chromium %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" x-scheme-handler/http; /usr/bin/chromium %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" x-scheme-handler/https; /usr/bin/chromium %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" +x-scheme-handler/vscode; /usr/share/code/code --open-url %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" +text/plain; /usr/share/code/code --new-window %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" +inode/directory; /usr/share/code/code --new-window %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" +application/x-code-workspace; /usr/share/code/code --new-window %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/vnd.iccprofile; /usr/bin/gcm-import %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pkcs12; /usr/bin/gcr-viewer %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pkcs12+pem; /usr/bin/gcr-viewer %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" ``` So, I guess that Timeshift does it right. And it's VSCode causing trouble to the party. -- Ludovic Poujol
