rstudio does not use linux file manager


The last two versions of rstudio dows not utilize the operating system (in my case debian sid) file manager (Thunar in my case). Instead it uses a not so helpful window (see pic)

HERE to see the linux version of file manager in rstudio.

Is there a way to set Thunar as the default file manager?

Thank you
