Your /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache has: inode/directory=code.desktop;org.kde.dolphin.desktop;org.kde.gwenview.desktop; Which means that the system thinks VSCode should be the preferred app to open folders. Your ~/.config/mimeapps.list file lacks any line with "inode/directory=[something]" on it. So the system is falling back to an alphabetical list of all apps capable of opening folders, and VSCode's .desktop file randomly happens to have a reverse-DNS-style identifier that is alphabetically first. If that wasn't the case, Dolphin would be used instead and no one would be the wiser. :) By contrast, my ~/.config/mimeapps.list file has this in it, in the [Default Applications] group: inode/directory=org.kde.dolphin.desktop; Can you send screenshot of how the "Default Applications" page in System Settings looks for you? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
