Using Debian Buster XFCE. XFCE is married to Thunar, so cannot remove thunar.
I would prefer Chromium (or any other app that might choose to open a directory), as when viewing Downloads and clicking 'show in folder', that PCManFM be used to open the folder.
Have already:
- Set default File Manager in 'Preferred Applications'.
- Created a
pcmanfm.desktop
in ~/.local/share/applications
- Edited mimeapps.list
in ~/.local/share/applications/
(also ~/.config/
)
- Did xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory
and confirmed output of xdg-mime query default inode/directory
.
