I would like to ask if any of you have found a solution to get the open containing folder function in Firefox to work. It should open with Konqi but currently it does nothing. I have already tried to set the xdg-mime type for inode/directory without success.
You haven't tried the keyboard, have you? Just backspace away the current directory name component, leaving the parent last, and hit RETURN. It works the same way in Konq.
I'm not sure you can backspace over anything after clicking the downloads button in the menubar. I think Lioh means when you click the download button and then click the folder -- that doesn't open correctly. It doesn't, it is a mess. I clicked the folder and it opened in vscodium. Searching around a bit it gets worse. You have /etc/mime.types and you have xdg-mime and you have every app fighting over who gets to control what mime-type, e.g. $ xdg-mime query default image/png brave-browser.desktop WHAT? I never told brave it could handle png images... What about svg files? $ xdg-mime query default image/svg-xml gpicview.desktop WHAT? Or: $ xdg-mime query default image/svg+xml gimp.desktop Double WHAT? (why isn't that inkscape like it should be?) Ohh...... I so recall this being a problem area, not just for KDE3, but for all desktops. I think there is a default XDG document spec that goes into more detail about mime-type handling -- but as with most documentation it is likely sorely out of date from a time before systemd... -- David C.
