Bug Description

So I installed the "nemo" file manager in Lubuntu 15.04. It works great and it's fast, so I wanted to set it as my default file manager. I also installed "nautilus" for testing.

I went in the 'preferences' menu, then selected "Default applications for LXsession".

From what I can see, PCManFM and another file manager called "Files" are there. PCManFM is the default file manager and "Files" is "nautilus".

So Lubuntu doesn't identify "Nemo" as a file manager? It is the well known file manager used in Linux Mint and it is know for its speed and functionality.

I really don't see this as a lubuntu-artwork bug this is more with lxsession package wihch tracks bugs for default app-for lxsession. Also if you want a workaroudn for the time being click the more button and set nemo as the file manager that way.

affects: lubuntu-artwork → lxsession (Ubuntu)

An additional workaround for the time being is to set the default file manager in a terminal, thus:

xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory
