Problem with Caja

---

i’m update caja to version 1.20. But caja dont open. I cant see my files or folders.
What do I need to do?
If caja does not work, which environment is better to put? And the most important thing is how to deliver correctly?

the problem is the caja extensions still not up to date at antergos repository…
you can update them from archlinux with any aur helper like yay / pikaur e.t.c.

yay -S community/caja-extensions-common
yay -S aur/caja-gksu
yay -S community/caja-open-terminal

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libexempi.so.8 /usr/lib/libexempi.so.3

@just i was thinking this will only solve the issue for the outdated packages… but

exempi 2.5.0-1 is providing /usr/lib/libexempi.so.8

caja is depending on exempi but why/what is calling the old version libexempi.so.3 here?

Not only caja depends on exempi. Caja-open-terminal, caja-gksu and eom (eye-of-mate) also depend on exempi:

$ pactree --reverse exempi

exempi
├─caja
│ ├─caja-extensions-common
│ │ ├─caja-gksu
│ │ └─caja-open-terminal
│ ├─caja-gksu
│ └─caja-open-terminal
└─eom
$ 

I don’t know who needs | calls | uses libexempi.so.3.

Seems like the problem with missing libexempi.so.3 is present in Antergos Mate only. Libexempi.so.3 is not needed and is not present neither in native Arch Mate, nor in other true Arch clones, like Revenge Mate. All three have identical Mate configuration here. Arch Mate and Revenge Mate have libexempi.so and libexempi.so.8 only.
