yup, its me again. so i have this funny unityx thing as a fallback and it has a hard dep on nemo, so i cant remove nemo. problem is: whenever something (e.g. chromium), it opens nemo, and i use gnome so i would like it to open gnome files instead. how to?

there is one in Settings, but it does not let you change the file manager - its for your Browser, Mail, Calendar, Music and Video players and Photo app
