The MATE Panel's Places menu opens files in mpv instead of caja

Support & Help Requests
1

When I click The MATE Panel’s Places and some place from there, for example “Home”, it opens files in mpv media player instead of caja. Same with any other place links in the Places menu. I just updated to 15.10, but in 15.04 I had similar problem and from Places menu did not happen anything in 15.04

My /etc/mailcap has:

inode/directory; caja --no-desktop %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

I also tried running update-mime, but it didn’t help.

Go to system/preferences/preferred applications and then pick the system tab. In there, choose caja as the default file manager.
