Bug#888652: baobab: Baobab opens the wrong handler for inode/directory MIME type

[Sophoklis Goumas]

Package: baobab
Followup-For: Bug #888652

Ok, after some research I've found out that baobab will take every entry
found in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and settle with the first
one that successfuly runs.

In my case this was:
$ grep inode/directory /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
inode/directory=pcmanfm.desktop;Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;org.gnome.baobab.desktop;audacious.desktop

When I tried removing everything but the 'Thunar-folder-handler.desktop' entry and afterwards
trying to open a directory from within baobab in shell I would read this:
(baobab:31555): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 21:17:50.056: g_app_info_launch: assertion 'G_IS_APP_INFO (appinfo)' failed

Also this bug could be merged with bug #827078 here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827078

I will keep on looking on this and I will update you if I find a working solution.

As a temporary solution you can use pcmanfm (install and configure it properly)
but I still want Thunar for it's tailored to my needs "Custom Actions".
