Cheers.

So what did gvfs-mime --query inode/directory give you?

Not much:

hugo7:~$ gvfs-mime --query inode/directory
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mime' instead.
See 'gio help mime' for more info.

gio: Unknown option --query

Usage:
gio mime MIMETYPE [HANDLER]

Get or set the handler for a mimetype.

If no handler is given, lists registered and recommended applications
for the mimetype. If a handler is given, it is set as the default handler for the mimetype.

OK, so what does gio mime inode/directory tell you?

You're trying to get directories to open properly, and they'll be handled by whatever is registered for mime type inode/directory.

Presumably either nothing is registered, or whatever is registered isn't set up right.

Default application for “inode/directory”: org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
Registered applications:
```
caja-folder-handler.desktop
nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
```
Recommended applications:
```
caja-folder-handler.desktop
nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
```
Pretty sure in an earlier session trying to solve it, it asked me which I wanted. I chose gnome Nautilus after a quick google, but idk what the benefits between them actually are.
