I have Fedora 23 Mate Spin. I'm not certain if this is a Fedora 23 bug or a VLC player bug. Problem: Caja is the default file managager. When I have VLC player installed, and I do a file search with the search utility, it finds the file, then I right-click on the file, open containing folder, and it opens in VLC player instead of Caja. If I uninstall VLC player, it opens in Caja. If I re-install VLC player, it opens in VLC again. Cause: Preferred Application for File Management is set to VLC instead of Caja after VLC is installed on Fedora 23. Solution: Click System, Preferences, Preferred Applications, System Tab, File Manager, switch from VLC to Caja.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

This situation is happen to me. Fedora 24 and Fedora 25. Mate. Problem: Caja is the default file managager. When I have VLC player installed, and I do a file search with the search utility, it finds the file, then I right-click on the file, open containing folder, and it opens in VLC player instead of Caja. If I uninstall VLC player, it opens in Caja. If I re-install VLC player, it opens in VLC again.
Triaging to mate-desktop component, owner of /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list That said, mate-mimeapps.list already (correctly?) includes: inode/directory=caja-folder-handler.desktop so, hard to say where the problem lies here

I followed your steps to reproduce, but i am not able to reproduce this with fedora 26 which use Mate-1.18, same as f25. And vlc player from rpmfusion is installed. Maybe an old config remnant in user folder? Can you reproduce the issue in a new fresh user account?
