[VA 9.1 on Linux] Environments reports "/bin/bash: nautilus: command not found" to console

The only time I have ever seen that is when from Enviroments tool you click on the "Directory" icon. This is because Environment doesn't have a Linux cross platform way to open a directory...so it just uses  "nautilus" which was the default at some point in Ubuntu. So...whenever we can't find nautilus installed, it fails and shows that in the console.

I am discussing internally if we can find a uniform way of open a directory whatever tool it is in the distro.

I think  'xdg-open' is the most cross distro way.

Can you check?

Hi Richard,

As Mariano noted, nautilus is just the default we use because we have not found a dependable, cross platform way to to this .  That said, if you know what works on your particular OS, you can go to Setting and enter the name of a  folder explorer  that does work on your system.

Well, I can type in that field just fine on Linux Mint 19 and  Redhat 7.4 (VA Smalltalk 9.1_x86 ) , but I do see that the file selection button does not update the field .  I tried some of the other file selection buttons and they do work.  I'll open case on this.  So how do you get that setting changed ... good question!     What distro are you running on?

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks for pointing that out, Bob. This is comparable to "an ini file entry".

However, I cannot overtype the existing entry and when I use the file selection dialogue, it doesn't change from nautilus to /usr/bin/xdg-open when I select that file.

How do I get that setting to change?
