Recently, I changed my default file manager from Nautilus to Dolphin in Pop!_OS by this command:
xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory'
and checked again which is the default file manager by executing this command:
xdg-mime query default inode/directory
and I get this output:
org.kde.dolphin.desktop
But, Gogle Chrome still opens Nautilus as the default file manager. I thought of removing it, but doing so will result in potential damage to my system since it is a built-in file. Here is the picture to view the scenario. enter image description here And, instantly when I browsed that picture, Chrome, as usual, used Nautilus to browse the picture. enter image description here Anyway to sort out this issue? I just want to sure that all applications use Dolphin as the default file manager without removing Nautilus. Update: As suggested, I also used xdg-open command to find the default file manager the system is using. And I noticed that, Dolphin opens up automatically with the entered file location.
