#8448 — Open containing folder?

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/128.0 Build identifier: 20251124203228

I downloaded a file from an RSS feed. I then went to the download
manager and asked to open the containing folder, and it said "could not
display...because it is not a folder", but it is a folder, it is the
Downloads folder. One possibility is I have a btrfs file system. I am
not sure if I have used this feature since installing the btrfs file
system.

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.
