I am running ArchLinux and I have started firefox from the terminal. Then I go to the download manager to try to open my "file browser" by clicking on "open containing folder", but it does not open and I get this message in the terminal

/usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop: line 8: be@latin: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "@latin") ... /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop: line 182: di: command not found /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop: line 183: Managerxx: command not found

so it is clearing trying to open the "file browser" through a desktop entry, and fail, but the desktop entry "dolphin.desktop" works fine.

so what is going wrong?

Did you check the content of that dolphin.desktop file?

Yes, and I can execute it by double clicking on it. I have copied its context to http://pastebin.com/yUS5d6ss
