While messing around with Lubuntu 19.04, running lxqt-sudo to launch Pluma text editor as root so that I could edit the /var/www PHP projects I had, I noticed when rightclicking the file browser pane and choosing View Folder, that it opened up, at first, PCManFM-Qt. However, when it did so, it used a very ugly theme. (That's another question I have posted.) Then, I installed Nautilus. When I did, now when I open Pluma as root, it uses some file manager called Files, which I assume is Nautilus because it shows up when I do ps -ef | grep -i nautilus.
How do I tell Pluma to use PCManFM-Qt instead of Nautilus? What config file do I edit?

Setting the default is done with:
xdg-mime default pcmanfm-qt.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
(I assumed it is pcmanfm-qt.desktop so do check for the actual .desktop file).
nautilus.desktopfor Nautilus.nemo.desktopfor nemo.- etc.
when I open Pluma as root
Please stop this behaviour. Use pkexec instead.
But even then don't! If you need root to edit files in /var/www/ your files are set incorrectly. Check the group of those files and add your user to that group. The group is going to be either www-data or apache if you use apache. Then you can edit the files from your user.

Note currently when I typexdg-mime query default inode/directory, it returns withorg.gnome,Nautilus.desktopwhen in sudo su (root). But as a regular user, it returns withpcmanfm-qt.desktop. Perhaps this is useful info to someone.

As forpkexec, I'm glad you pointed out that tool to me. I had not seen it before. I really just need to edit the PHP files as the www-data user context. I haven't figured out how to make that work just yet -- it saysCannot open display:. Currently my launcher is using lxqt-sudo to launch Pluma as root, and being asked for my login password on lxqt-sudo is annoying when it's just my local desktop.
