Hi folks,
i got a little bit nerved by the default filemanager "nautilus" (file) integrated in Zorin Desktop.
I missed 2 pane view as default and stability (nautilus often crashes or got frozen when connecting between NFS, SAMBA or DAV Shares)
So i looked arround for some alternatives. As a LinuxMint User (i was before trying Zorin ) i knew nemo as very good filemanager under gnome.
So what i did for the moment was:
1) installing nemo from the official repositories (apt get install nemo; aptitude install nemo)
2) using these guides
-> https://frankschierle.de/ubuntu-nautilu ... -ersetzen/
and
-> http://fenon.de/nemo-anstatt-nautilus-a ... verwenden/
3) i used the terminal and executed
-> xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
-> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
-> gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true
4) modified
-> ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
with that entry
[Default Applications]
inode/directory=nemo.desktop
application/x-gnome-saved-search=nemo.desktop
5) and modified
-> /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
with that entry
inode/directory=nemo.desktop
x-directory/normal=nemo.desktop
OK so good so far. I can now open Folders on my Desktop or my homedir via nemo instead of nautilus.
What is missing?
When choosing files for upload into my nextcloud everytime firefox or chromium opened nautilus as filemanager for choosing files
When a zipped file will be opened/unpacked by archivmanager everytime nautilus filemanager is opening instead of nemo
etc etc
So i'm missing the fully integration of nemo as default filemanager system wide .
How can i get this to work unter zorin 12.3 ?
Thanks a lot for help
