Hello,
the Org Attach dispatcher offers a key "f" to open the attachment directory not in Emacs.
(defun org-attach-reveal (&optional if-exists)
"Show the attachment directory of the current task.
This will attempt to use an external program to show the directory."
(interactive "P")
(let ((attach-dir (org-attach-dir (not if-exists))))
(and attach-dir (org-open-file attach-dir))))
On my two systems this is the same a F, it opens in dired. xdg-open . uses dolphin to open inode/directory. How does Emacs/org determine which
application to use? How can I influence it?
Thanks,
Florian
P.S. Why are file associations such a mess on Linux. Emacs? KDE and Thunderbird all use different applications to open the same file...

The documentation of `org-open-file' points to variable `org-file-apps'.
You can customize `org-file-apps'.
E.g. the entry
[INS] [DEL] Cons-cell:
Choice: [Value Menu] Links to a directory
Choice: [Value Menu] Command: firefox %s
stands for opening directories in firefox.
Ciao
Marco

Ok, thanks. I've set org-file-apps like that now
org-file-apps '((system . "xdg-open %s")
("\\.pdf\\'" . system)
(directory . system)
(auto-mode . emacs)))
and it seems to work.
IMHO should mailcap be deprecated in favor of xdg-open.
Best,
Florian
