By the way, it says "Files is not your default file manager" "Set as default" "ignore"

I thought this was already reported before but I can't find it. I'm not sure whose fault it is.

This one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1057038

No, it was more recent than that. Thanks for looking.

This still happens. Of course, when you set Files as the default file manager using the infobar, it doesn't ever complain again. But it would be nice if were set as default out of the box.

Still happens in Loki.
