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

[Rafael Varela Pet]

Package: baobab
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Kaffeine installs itself as a handler for inode/directory MIME type (wich it does make much sense for me, although it was made on purpose by upstream [1]) and this has a side effect on baobab, because it seems to ignore the default setting under Xfce4 and starts to launch kaffeine when I try to open a folder instead of Thunar:

  $ xdg-mime query default inode/directory
  Thunar-folder-handler.desktop

I can work around this by regenerating the file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache after deleting "inode/directory" on /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kaffeine.desktop, so I wonder if there's a bug in baobab, os if should be better to include this change in the Debian package, or even better to file a bug upstream to request commit 24d08091ac9fe44487f1ec0bb5288f6f695de0e7 to be reverted?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael Varela
