error : undefined - Reveal not working on Ubuntu (missing file manager)

[ffrouin]

Hello,

I'm using firefox 60.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (Ubuntu 14.04) and your plugin.

When plugin detects local link object it shows a little folder on the right, but when I click on it, there is a message textbox that appears a few seconds telling me "error : undefined".

Then, I don't know how to link your plugin with the local binary used for file management (thunar in my case). How should I proceed in order your plugin to call a specific file manager binary ?

Thanks, Best Regards, Freddy.

There is no way to add other file managers at the moment.

Only nautilus and dolphin are supported for revealing files in file manager. Open is always xdg-open on Linux.

Maybe we could add an options file fileexplorer.json to the native app so users could add other file managers. The format could be like the filexeplorers object:

{
    "open": "xdg-open",
    "reveal": {
      "cmd": "thunar",
      "arg": "--select "
    }
}

If that file is present in the install location then we're using that file explorer instead of the defaults.

A work-around until this feature is added would be to add a symbolic link for nautilus to the file explorer you'd like to use. Something like sudo ln -s /bin/nautilus /usr/bin/thunar should work (not tested).
