View file / Open file in file manager missing

Posts: 3 · sirpecangum 14 Aug 2011, 10:15

What happened to the options to view or open the file in the file manager or
associated application? More importantly, how can I re-implement them? A popup
exclaiming "%name" "%dir" in Global Settings just ain't good enough, I'm not a
programmer!

If you have this problem in Ubuntu, open Global Settings on the Advanced menu
and add:

To open file manager: xdg-open "%dir"
To open in default application: xdg-open "%name"

Just press the "default" button. This should restore all default values
including context menu options.

Thank you!

I just tried that and it works, now I'm embarrassed that it is so easy -
clearly I'm a bit of an idiot! Thanks...

Thanks for the tip, Zenju! Pressing the "default" button in Global Settings solved the problem for me.
