Project View > Show in ... not working for Xfce with thunar
Answered
Hi,
it's very useful to open a file in the file manager of the system. For Xfce4 this seems not longer to work. The filemanager there is Thunar.
A right-click onto a file displays the option `Show in Open File with Thunar`.
This seems a little odd. Is there a way to change the associated program?

Gunther,
Try editing your /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file and change the inode/directory entry...
from:
inode/directory=org.xfce.Catfish.desktop;thunar.desktop;code.desktop;org.gnome.baobab.desktop;
to:
inode/directory=thunar.desktop;code.desktop;org.gnome.baobab.desktop;org.xfce.Catfish.desktop;
Apparently the order of listed applications that handle inode/directory mime types matters. Putting the Catfish entry last fixes the problem. You'll need to close and re-open IntelliJ so that it reloads the mimeinfo.cache file.
Hope if works for you :)
