I forgot to say:

When trying to open a file using Nautilus in sway, I get this message:

######
Could Not Display "file-name-here.ext"
There is no application installed for "FILE TYPE HERE" files

Button: Select Application
Button: OK
######

Pressing the "Select Application" button displays a list of applications th=
at=20
can handle the given file type, but selecting an application from the list =
has=20
no effect. The message above shows up again when you try to open a file.

I see this warning appear in a terminal when I try to open a file:

######
** (org.gnome.Nautilus:13530): WARNING **: 14:59:45.839: Couldn't call Modi=
fy=20
on the PackageKit interface: no owner for PackageKit
######

When trying to do the same thing in Caja (MATE), I get this message:

######
No se pudo abrir el archivo XYZ. Fall=C3=B3 al ejecutar el proceso hijo =C2=
=ABgio-launch-desktop=C2=BB (No existe el fichero o el directorio)
######

Which means "Couldn't open the file XYZ. Failed to run the child process =
=C2=ABgio-launch-desktop=C2=BB (No such file or directory)"

And Thunar on XFCE doesn't display anything, nothing happens.

Also, I have a "mimeapps.list" file living in "~/.config" and file managers=
 seems to use it, because when you right click on a file, file managers sho=
w the right application configured to open that particular type of file (as=
 defined in "~/.config/mimeapps.list").
