Update: It seems that it has been automatically fixed, however the same applies whenever I try to sudo gnome-open
or gksu gnome-open
Well, this is a really weird one. I'm currently running Mint 13 and I just installed all my apps, including Sublime Text 2 and Dropbox.
Whenever I click the dropbox icon, instead of opening the folder, it opens sublime, the equivalent of running sublime-text-2 <dropbox folder>
. Initially I thought it was a Dropbox bug, but when I tried to run gnome-open .
, sublime gets opened (twice) instead of a files browser.
What could be happening here? I get the same result by running mate-open .
, altough both commands appear to be in the right directory:
~ » whereis gnome-open
gnome-open: /usr/bin/gnome-open /usr/bin/X11/gnome-open /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-open.1.gz
~ » whereis mate-open
mate-open: /usr/bin/mate-open /usr/bin/X11/mate-open
Also, I tried uninstalling sublime and both commands now work as they should, but whenever I install sublime, the same happens!
Thanks for your time.

The below solution worked for me.
Run
mate-default-applications-properties
from terminal (or the application to set your preferred applications).Set the default application choices.
Click close.
You are done!.
Don't ask me how/why.
