Using open folder/open file in Openbox WM

[qcompson]

I searched the forums here but wasn't able to find the answer, so I'm hoping someone can help.

Does anyone know how to make the (right-click) open folder and open file functions work in Openbox (or other WMs). They work fine under gnome and xfce. I've dug around a bit and assume it has something to do with xdg-open, but I'm not sure how to fiddle around with this to get it working correctly.

Using Ubuntu Hardy Heron and Deluge 0.5.9.3. Thank you in advance.

I'm also having this issue; haven't figure out how to fix it yet. Messed around with xdg-mime a little bit, but I don't exactly know what I'm doing, either.

You could try simply creating a symlink:

Code: Select all

# ln -fs /usr/bin/<filemanager> /usr/bin/xdg-open

Obviously you will need to replace <filemanager> with your chosen file manager.

That worked! Rad!
