howto open attachment directory in external program?

[Kestutis Matonis]

in .mailcap i have set-upped:

inode/directory-locked; pcmanfm2 '%s';
inode/directory; pcmanfm2 '%s';
text/directory; pcmanfm2 '%s';

but when I'm trying to open attachments directory, it is still opened in emacs.

I'm not sure why org-attach is not respecting the mailcap settings. But
for a simple solution you could add a setting to org-file-apps:

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '(directory . "pcmanfm2"))

Best,

Oops. The above line should read:

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '(directory . "pcmanfm2 %s"))

Hope this helps.
