Okay, I will likely try that then.

I have tried that right now. I didn't try that before because I was not
aware of it (I even tried checking the mimetype for folders before
without finding anything).

It seems to not making any effect in any application.

In xfe is not a forked package in Devuan and we use Debian's packages directly
without recompilation. So, in principle, bugs about xfe should be reported to
Debian's BTS to be addressed.

However, you need more detail here before you submit this to Debian. What are
you trying to do or expecting to happen?

That maybe. Have you tried to configure the inode/directory mimetype to open in
xfe? You can probably do that in ~/.mailcap.

Package: xfe
Version: 1.43.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am currently using XFE as default and sole file manager on my OS.

However, it seems that no application recognizes it as file manager, not even
Firefox and instead another application able to manage folders is picked.

I guess that the application is not tied to open the mimetype specific for
folders or similar.
