Chromium "show in folder" and downloads in Lubuntu

[Jeff91]

Howdy All,

So I recently installed Lubuntu on my netbook and I have it all working except for one hitch - when I download something in Chromium (such as a .deb or a .odt file) when I click on the finished download in the bar at the bottom of Chromium it does not open the file in gdebi/abiword as it should. Also when I right click on a file and select "show in folder" it does not work...

Any suggestions? Not sure if this is an issue with Chromium or LXDE/PCMan but I figured it couldn't hurt to post here asking about it.

Regards,
~Jeff

Hi,

all distros are setup differently, so we can't help with every distro. To increase your chance of help, you can also ask at the Lubuntu project page on Launchpad or/and in chromium forums.

chrome uses xdg-open

it is dumb script, edit it to your needs. i use e16 and rox to show in folder.

Code: Select all

[root@rzcoolerm64 ~]# which xdg-open
/usr/bin/xdg-open
[root@rzcoolerm64 ~]# nano /usr/bin/xdg-open

scroll to the very end of the file and hardcode what you need. i replaced the open_generic with rox.

Code: Select all

    generic)
    rox "$url"
    ;;

#    generic)
#    open_generic "$url"
#    ;;

I had same problem with firefox on archlinux(different browser and different distro) it was caused by wrong „default file browser“ association. in file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list(or /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list) section [Added Associations] added line inode/directory=pcmanfm.desktop and it solved problem.

You helped me so much. I'm confused about it for a long time. Thanks for sharing this.
