[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back

 

The only way to solve this problem is install "pcmanfm" and run:

 xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory

This solution worked for me, because I have my main folders as .desktop
entries in the Unity dash.
