[MATE] Places menu opens Nautilus

I have both MATE (fork of Gnome 2), and Gnome 3 installed.  In MATE, the places menu opens Nautilus 3, but the desktop icons open Caja (MATE's fork of Nautilus 2).
How can I fix it so that both the desktop and the places menu open the file manager (I'd prefer Nautilus 3)?

Here is the official Maté thread. You should post there for now.

  • Gnome places menu opens with file-roller

    In the gnome places menu - all works fine except when trying to open recently used items - which open up with file roller instead of the proper app. The same thing happens when trying to download OOo docs - I can't open them directly but have to save them first. I've search through gconf-editor settings, have all my 'properties/open with' etc. all correct in nautilus and for individual items, but no luck.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks - I read this already though, but it doesn't work. Actually the only things in recently used docs that don't open, and the only things I can't open automatically when downloading (ie I have to save them first and open them separately) are OOo docs. But I have OOo docs set to open with OOo - so its a conundrum!

  • Gnome, Nautilus / Pcman Main menu Opening Find File instead of Home

    Hi there,
    I am running two user, mine on Compiz-standalone with Pcman as it's lighter.
    The second user is using gnome and therefore need and want to keep using nautilus,
    The problem is when trying to open the Home folder from the Gnome main menu, a dialogue box "Find File" is opening instead of the Home folder by Nautilus.
    Now after searching the forum, I edited the /usr/share/applications/mime.cache
    However this hasn't change the problem, I try restarting the PC for the change to take effect but without success.
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this annoying bug?

    I am having the same issue, using regular Gnome with Nautilus. I started noticing it after the upgrade to Gnome 2.30. Clicking any of the top section buttons under the Gnome panel's "Places" menu brings up "Find Files" searching inside the folder, instead of Nautilus on the folder. Clicking on "Computer" actually does bring up Nautilus.

  • [SOLVED] Gnome Places Menu - Home, Desktop, etc folders open with...

    Hello, I somehow managed to get EasyTag to open the links in Gnome's Places menu, but it's driving me insane.
    I've tried:
    -removing EasyTag, which doesn't fix the problem, and leaves me with the error "Could not open location file:///home/james"
    -setting folder properties from within nautilus to open folders with "File Browser", but that does nothing
    -looked in gnome-conf in /desktop/gnome/applications/component_viewer
    -searched for easytag in gnome-conf
    I've look high and low for answers, but none of which seem to help me out.
    Gnome 2.22.3
    Thanks in advance

  • Can't open nautilus from applications menu

    I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
    In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
    I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
    The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
    /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop:  Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
    Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
    Any one can help?

    Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
    Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched  during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
    According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
    I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
    I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
    This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
    If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
    I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
    Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
    Thanks!
    I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

  • Gnome places menu [SOLVED]

    Strange behaviour on my gnome desktop. Folders in the places menu are opened by audacious instead of nautilus.
    I tested deleting all gnome configuration folders and reinstalling nautilus without luck.
    Removing audacious does not default to nautilus either:
      Could not open location 'file:///home/******'
      There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location.
    This only happens in the places menu. Elsewhere nautilus opens folders.

    Thanks kensai. I did
    update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
    after commenting out
    <alias type="x-directory/normal"/>
    in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
    Now gnome-open works again.
    gvfs-open did not need this change.

  • Gnome-shell-extension-places-menu

    Hello,
    I have some questions about the places menu.
    1. Is it possible to have it show an item that I have in my bookmarks which is to a samba share?
    smb://192.168.1.202/temp/ (named Temp)
    While that location is mounted, the item shows as a removable device. However, I would like to be able to mount the location from the places menu.
    2. Is it possible to show removable devices (such as usb flash drives) before they are mounted? (I don't automount my drives)
    3. Is it possible to see a newly added bookmark without restarting the shell? (or see removed bookmark go away)
    I guess I am asking if it is possible to have the places menu in the shell show the items that are in the "places" of nautilus.
    I have also played with the gnome-shell-extension-drives-menu. The description of the package describes that it can be used to mount and unmount removable media. How do I unmount without opening Nautilus?

    Thanks
    FYI gnome-shell needs to be restarted for changes to appear.
    Alt+F2 type 'r' and enter to restart it.

    If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
    As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so 
    they are at least two versions old.
    Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many 
    other products on the market which do a much better job of creating 
    and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
    Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
    http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
    There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop 
    up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away 
    from them.
    Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

    Thanks for the attempt. I actually found the answer in the wiki. I do not know how it evaded me the first time I looked. Thanks anyway.
    For those of you who find this thread looking for the answer:
    From the Wiki:
    Default applications
    You may want to configure system-wide default applications and file associations. This is extremely useful when you have some KDE applications installed, but still prefer a GNOME ones to be launched by default.
    To do that you can install gnome-defaults-list from AUR. It will place your configuration file at /etc/gnome/defaults.list.
    If you want to do everything manually, create /usr/share/applications/defaults.list with the following format:
    [Default Applications]
    application/pdf=evince.desktop
    image/jpeg=eog.desktop

  • Help Menu Opens Everytime Open A Document

    I have a crazy problem with Adobe Acrobat products. Every time I open a document with Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Reader the help menu opens and everything stalls until I click somewhere to close it. It just did it again when printing. The print progress dialog stalled until I closed the help menu.
    This just started a couple months ago after using the programs for well over a year.
    I'm using Acrobat Standard 7, Adobe Reader 5 on a Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.11.

    And Appleworks 6 came out in 2003 but NEVER has an OS update introduced a new bug in the program!
    If an update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 caused this bug then I'd say the probability is that the program had the bug in the first place but didn't manifest itself until now. In all likelihood this is not a conflict with the OS but a setting or an extension that is conflicting. I was hoping someone might have an idea to help me, not try to get me to buy an upgrade.
    And how does this bug occur in both programs yet one is a version 5 product and the other a version 7, both started doing the same thing at the same time. What is going on in the Adobe background to cause this? None of my other "Old" programs do this.
    I may upgrade my Adobe reader even though that program has gotten so bogged down over the years. I will NOT upgrade Acrobat because I just don't use it's capabilities that much. I got it with a scanner and I really didn't need it when all was said and done.
    I would still appreciate anyone that might have an idea of what caused this and offer a solution that doesn't involve buying upgraded software I don't need.
    (Sorry for the rant but upgrade fever bothers me. I've actually edited this post down from my original rant.)

  • InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly

    The InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly every time I click anywhere in a document to do anything.
    Such as draw a box, insert type, anything. It virtually renders the program unuseable. I click to make an addition to a doc, travel up to the help menu to close it, do my thing, then repeat for the next action. Reinstalling has not stopped this. I cannot disable the Help Menu (which would be a fine solution BTW). I cannot afford to upgrade to CS4 right now. I am not sure that would stop it anyway. Photoshop, Illustrator, no other program in the CS3 suite exhibits this behavior. Anybody got any ideas? I recently recreated my whole OS and all programs on a new hard drive out of necessity. InDesign was doing this before that rebuild, and it does it now (after the reinstall). CS3 was reinstalled clean. That did solve a serial # issue with Acrobat where it wouldn't launch. I didn't transfer anything from the old hard drive except e-mail and internet settings.
    Mac Pro Quad
    Leopard 10.5.7
    4 gigs ram
    2 terrabytes internal hard drive space (four drives).
    Thanks for any help in advance, I appreciate your time.
    Michael

    Are you using the default keyboard shortcut set or a custom one? Also, are you using any special mouse, keyboard or tablet input devices?
    Try going to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts->Help menu Product Area and see what the default Help shortcut is. Perhaps it has been set to something crazy like "mouse click". You may just set the Keyboard Shortcuts back to [Default] set and see if that does the trick too.
    Alternatively, something either software or hardware related in your setup is frequently triggering that event, which may be the case if you have a non-apple kbd, mouse etc installed.

  • Placement Strategy : Open Storage

    Dear All,
    Appreciate it if you could shed light / clear doubts on the matter below:
    1. For placement strategy Open Storage, is it a must to use it with storage section ?
    The design is not firm yet -- in the event, i have a storage type 100, and plan to activate with this placement strategy, is it a must to use / have storage section ?
    2. Take for example, under storage type 100, i only have 3 bins, with placement strategy Open Storage.
    How will system propose the bins for storage ?
    The Next Empty bin strategy, will always proposed the next available empty bin. So, how does Open Storage strategy works then?
    3. SUT. Don't plan to activate SUT, for the Open Storage strategy.
    What will be the implication on the warehouse without ths ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pui Wan Lam
    Kindly read WM basics availble widely over Internet. You could also go through help.sap.com
    Well how SAP determines BIN :
    1) You have maintained storage types / storage section & Bins are available
    2) You have created storage type Indicators & data maintained in Material Master WM1 / WM2
    3) You have defined the serach sequent against Indicator (Storage type & Storage section)
    When TO is getting created system serach for the storage types mapped against the Indicator maintained in material master
    If storage section is activated system tries to serach for available BIN in Storage type & Storage section.
    If BIN not found system jumps to next storage type + storage section combination .  This is how it works.
    Now in your case yu have 3 Bins ..001 , 002 , 003
    For exmple you have material 1100 , 2200 , 3300
    Storage type 100 (Open storage) ,200 , 300 etc &  storage sections in 100 are  001 , 002 , 003
    Storage type Indictor XXX & storage section Indicator Y01 , Y02 , Y03 is created.
    You need to do the way described below.
    For material 1100 maintain XXX & Y01 , 2200 : XXX & Y02 , 3300 : XXX & Y03
    In Customisation storage serach sequence : XXX = 100 , 200 ,300 etc.
    storage section search Y01 = 001 , Y02 = 002 , Y03 =003
    Storage section check is activated for storage type 100
    Whenever Material 1100 will come system will always propose BIN 001 This is irrelevant of number of postings , you can create as many postings , if you try to take the material in 002 Bin , system will not allow unless you make chnages either in Material Master or in customisation.
    Say if Material 4400 can go in any section you can maintain Blank entry at storage section in Materil master & define one more sequnce in customisation ...."Blank "= Y01 , Y02 , Y03 . With such combination always BIN 001 will be proposed but you can overrite those values & take the material in any BIN with appropriate combination.
    I hope this clarifies your all doubt !
    Thanks,

  • InDesign Help Menu open every time app is selected

    Hey guys,
    I have this ridiculous problem that just started today:
    Every time I "⌘(command)+tab" from another app into InDesign, the "help menu" opens up... and it does it every time!!!
    So let's say I ⌘+tab from word to in design. Once indesign opens the help menu opens up and I have to close it.
    I've searched the net for solutions and I've even call apple support, but no one can give me any answers.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I just figured it out,
    I used activity monitor to see what was working when it was happening. A program I thought I had deleted was still running, APE (Application Enhancer) is what was creating all the problems!
    Thanks for the help guys!

  • CS3 Help menu opens after every command

    I have a user that every time they finish a command like create a new document or rotate and object the help menu opens. This interrupts their workflow since you have to click off the menu before continuing. I have tried deleting the preferences but that didn't help. I have also booted into safe boot and this does resolve the issue. Is there an other setting or preference I can remove that would resolve this issue?

    If I recall.. around the time of CS3 there were issues with Unsanity "haxies" causing this as well as other small third party OS add ons.
    You might...
    A) Include what OS you are using
    B) If it's Mac OS, try booting into Safe Mode by holding down the shift key when starting up the system and see if the issue goes away.
