I tried it with a new profile in a different linux user, and it worked
fine, then I went back and tried it with a new profile in the normal
linux user, and it didn't work. That's puzzling. I then tried it in safe
mode with the same new profile, and it didn't work. So that's very
puzzling.

I tried caja, and xdg-open from the command line, and they both work.

Aha, I fixed it.

 xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory

The default was Caja, but should be Nemo, because I am now using
Cinnamon.
