How to change Gnome Shell calendar default application?
In Gnome shell calendar menu, when I click on "Open Calendar" it tries to open Evolution - even if it's not installed - Is it possible to change the default calendar?
P.S. Gnome shell Calendar does not follow default calendar application
Type the following in a terminal.
For Thunderbird:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.office.calendar exec thunderbird
For Chromium
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.office.calendar exec "chromium-browser 'https://www.google.com/calendar'"
In Gnome 3.8 use gvfs-mime to manipulate calendar mime association:
Inspect:
gvfs-mime --query text/calendar
set your app:
gvfs-mime --set text/calendar google-calendar.desktop
whereas google-calendar.desktop can be created like this:
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/.local/share/applications/google-calendar.desktop
Then fill the dialog with the following as a command to open browser with google calendar:
xdg-open https://www.google.com/calendar
Then restart gnome-shell or logout/login to reload the settings.
open system settings in the upper right and go to system info then default applications and change it there!
