(MX Tools) Default file mgr. program changed after installing MX Tools

BrJPedro · 2025-06-03 17:38

I've installed MX Tools on my machine (Trinity)

Today, I realized that the default file manager on xdg-open was changed to Filelight

(I tried to open a folder from Telegram, which I suppose it calls xdg-open)

To fix it, I changed its default inode/directory with the command:

xdg-mime default thunar.desktop inode/directory

(I use Thunar as my default file manager)

Doing this, it solved the problem.

But I guess that this shouldn't happen, because filelight isn't even a file manager per-se, right?

@BrJPedro
It would be helpful, if you would describe and create a new issue on the projects's issue list https://github.com/q4os/mxtools-for-debian/issues

Alright. Later I'll try to replicate it again in a VM and then I open an issue on github.
