changing default filemanager

hello fellow humans et al.
As you might know, I am using fluxbox as my window manager and have trimmed down on some of default stuff that comes with trisquel...
I have removed nautilus, since it gave problems overriding fluxboxes 'right click' in practice making fluxbox unusable. also I like PCmanFM better. which is now installed.
but it seems I have some problems getting it propper integrated.
Example; from my text editor (atom), If I right click a file or directory and selects 'reveal in file manager' it now opens the directory in Abrowser.
Also, from ABrowser, after having downloaded a file... well I was about to write nothing happens, but now after rechecking it does work... I swear it didn't work one minute ago... I did ofcourse manually start PCManFM in between.... I will restart and update, one sec....
hmm apparently it works now in ABrowser from the download manager.
Anyway, any idea what the problem could be with atom?
When I had nautilus, it used to work.
I don't quite know what could be happening but to make your favorite file manager default, you have to use the xdg standards:
Look, to make your beloved pcmanfm the default manager, put this on the terminal:
$ xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory
If you change your idea and want another file manager, switch pcmanfm.desktop for the file that corresponds to the file manager you want in "/usr/share/applications".
the file that handles these defaults are located in "~/.local/applications/mimeapps.list".
I hopped It worked.
thanks slacker that worked :)
note that the mimeapps.list is in ~/.local/share/applications/
"note that the mimeapps.list is in ~/.local/share/applications/"
Sorry, my mistake.
I'm glad it worked :-)

Why doesn't GNOME have a gui for changing these preferences, as does Mate and, maybe, XFCE?
