Cannot Browse Files in Timeshift

If you use a different OS and then also rsync instead of Btrfs as it is needed for full function for Garuda I wonder why you give advice here that helps no one here but rather creates confusion?

I fixed it in i3wm /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache has wrong input :slight_smile:
for inode/directory.


KDE

/home/sgs/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

dos not work with nnn.desktop, maybe after reboot :smiley:
Change it also in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

no effect. Reboot.

It work in i3wm but in KDE not. I got same crazy output in i3wm but work.
Bug in timeshift or xdg-open?

open_envvar()
{
    local oldifs="$IFS"
    local browser browser_with_arg

    IFS=":"
    for browser in $BROWSER; do
        IFS="$oldifs"

        if [ -z "$browser" ]; then
            continue
        fi

        if echo "$browser" | grep -q %s; then
            # Avoid argument injection.
            # See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103807
            # URIs don't have IFS characters spaces anyway.

        else
            $browser "$1"
        fi

        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
            exit_success
        fi
    done
}

Line 881 is

            $browser "$1"

Lot of ....
When do they start fixing bugs, new features every week, but ...

I delete "wrong" apps, nothing changed or work for timeshift.

Just KDE :smiley: :wink:

I just created a favorite in Dolphin that pointed to /run/timeshift/backup. I can browser all my snapshots from there.
