I would like to run Nemo instead of Xfce's default file browser, in my browser.
Per Clean way to run proper file manager from Firefox on Linux I tried to do:
$ mkdir --parents ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/
$ ln --symbolic /usr/share/dbus-1/services/nemo.FileManager1.service ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service
To test to see which file manager opens, I ran:
$ dbus-send --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems array:string:"file:///home/" string:""
I then rebooted, but nothing changed. I even symlinkedcopied a few more service files and updated their Name field:
$ ln --symbolic /usr/share/dbus-1/services/nemo.FileManager1.service ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.FileManager.service
$ ln --symbolic /usr/share/dbus-1/services/nemo.FileManager1.service ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.Thunar.FileManager1.service
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.FileManager.service/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.Thunar.FileManager1.service
Again nothing changed and Thunar still opens. It seems like my settings are entirely being ignored.
Any ideas on whats going on, or how can I debug this issue?
