Ok, I think it has nothing to do with maemostash. I tried the dbus-call with different folders. And only the "builtin" folders (.documents, .sounds, DCIM ...) are working. For all other folders, the filemanager opens in the default view and hangs. dbus-call: this one works: dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_filemanager /com/nokia/osso_filemanager com.nokia.osso_filemanager.open_folder string:/home/user/MyDocs/.documents this one (and many other) don't work dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_filemanager /com/nokia/osso_filemanager com.nokia.osso_filemanager.open_folder string:/home/user/MyDocs/FCamera Nicolai
