#158580 — Bypass Disk Usage Analyser

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Whenever I want to open any file directly from search, or places, or and
disk after mounting, it directs to Disk Usage Analyser, which I want to be
Nautilus instead.
Is there any method to fix this?

Search here refers to type to search provided in Gnome3 onwards where you
can type for apps, and files in home folder rather than browsing them.

 From your brief description it seems to me that this is a matter of 
permissions. What permissions do you attach to these files? Also, when 
you say "search" could you please be more specific? For me "search" for 
example means "find ...." and open them by terminal. Some details will help.

Sounds like something has screwed up the normal file associations.

I think this is handled in mimeinfo.cache which is normally found in
 /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and in your home directory. (I
find three of these files in my home dir)

I think it's safe to remove (or move them out of the way) to get back
the default behaviour.
