Bug 272318 – x11-misc/pcmanfm: breaks Gnome "Places" menu

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Bèrto 'd Sèra 2009-06-02 23:06:34 UTC]

For some reasons all of the links in "places" started to open the "find files" windows, instead of browsing the corresponding directory. The same is happening from a number of applications that have an "open folder" command. The only link that opens properly is "Computer". Nautilus alone works perfectly, though. After a quick search I find this:

bertodsera@gentoo ~ $ grep x-directory/normal /usr/share/applications/*
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:x-directory/normal=pcmanfm-find.desktop;pcmanfm-folder-handler.desktop;pcmanfm.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop:MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;
/usr/share/applications/pcmanfm.desktop:MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;
/usr/share/applications/pcmanfm-find.desktop:MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;
/usr/share/applications/pcmanfm-folder-handler.desktop:MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;

Which leads me to think that something is wrong with pcmanfm.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I suppose you can simply install it yourself. I hope I can simply unmerge it to fix the problem.




bertodsera@gentoo ~ $ emerge -vp pcmanfm

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

/usr/share/applications/pcmanfm-find.desktop:MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;

^^ that is utterly wrong and causing the problem.

Fixed in 0.5.1 ebuild
