Description

Hi, I just installed Lapce from the repository on an up to date Archlinux/Gnome.

Now when I open a directory from another app (for instance from Ardour>Export Files>Open in the directory) it just opens Lacpe instead of Nautilus.

That shouldn't be the default !

Do you have any idea how to change this ?

Thank you in advance

Research direction

Reproduce the first-install behavior on Arch Linux/GNOME by opening a directory from Ardour and checking whether Lapce replaces Nautilus. Trace the installation or desktop-integration behavior; done when Lapce is no longer the default file chooser or file manager and Nautilus opens instead.
