Caja Tips

System Bookmarks

To get bookmarks under the Places system menu to open in Caja (MATE File Browser) instead of a browser do this:

Navigate to /home/username/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

(the keyboard shortcut [ctrl h] will show hidden folders (.folder))

Add to both the Default Applications and Added Applications sections:

x-scheme-handler/ftp=caja-folder-handler.desktop

Now your bookmarks will open in Caja instead of your browser!!


Dropbox

# apt-get install caja-dropbox 

MATE may need to be restarted (log out, log back in)


Terminal Menu

Open in Terminal right click menu:

# apt-get install caja-open-terminal

MATE may need to be restarted.
