Hello! Unfortunately, there was a problem with VSCode on archlinux again. The essence of the problem: VSCode takes over the opening of directories instead of a file manager. This manifests itself at least in the inactivity of the "browse" button in timeshift (you can make sure that the problem is due to VSCode by running it from the terminal with the timeshift-launcher command) I have already written about this here before and even gave a solution, but after updating the application it stopped working. What used to interfere with the work seems to have been fixed, but the problem has only worsened, since it has not been solved and the repair method does not work. A temporary solution is to change the order of applications in mimeinfo.cache, that is, put the file manager first. Please tell me how to solve this!
Здравствуйте! К сожалению опять появилась проблема с VSCode на archlinux. Суть проблемы: VSCode берет на себя открытие директорий вместо файлового менеджера. Это проявляется как минимум в неработоспособности кнопки "обзор" в timeshift (можно убедиться, что проблема из-за VSCode запустив его из терминала командой timeshift-launcher) Раньше я уже писал об этом здесь и даже давал решение, но после обновления приложения оно перестало работать. То, что раньше мешало работе вроде как исправлено, но проблема только усугубилась, так как не решена и способ починки не работает. Временное решение заключается в изменении порядка приложений в mimeinfo.cache, то есть поставить первым файловый менеджер. Подскажите пожалуйста как это решить!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the license difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open source version.
Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If there is no new version on that page, it's not yet released. A tag on Github is NOT a release! If you can see the new version on the updates page but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within a day or two.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si
. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-open
uses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install shared-mime-info-gnome. Also see this reddit thread.
Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on Github.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
