I've been using Show in file manager option in Idea actively enough. But some time ago it has got broken suddenly: now it opens "Sublime 2" text editor instead of "Thunar" file manager. Where can I configure this?

          For whatever reason Sublime changed the association for the "folder" type.



          On Ubuntu / Mint, the best way that I found is to use ubuntu-tweak. From this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11364855&postcount=23




          • UbuntuTweak -> File Type Manager -> All -> folder

          • click edit

          • click add

          • change to Nautilus [or your file manager] ( also called File
            Browser )

            Check the default File Manager for your desktop environment. On Fedora with Gnome, I used the following command:



            xdg-mime query default inode/directory


            In my case it showed Dolphin, which is not what I wanted:




            org.kde.dolphin.desktop




            To change it to Nautilus I then ran the command:



            xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory


            Re-launch IDEA for the changes to take effect.



            You can also check your default File Manager by opening it with the command



            xdg-open ~


            Which will open your home directory with the default File Manager.



            The user settings are stored at ~/.config/mimeapps.list
