The probem exists for me in Maverick. If I have gnome-mplayer installed, *and* I have at least once opened System->Preferences->Preferred Applications (without changing anything there!) "Places" start being opened by mplayer instead of nautilus.
Presumably (?) "Preferred applications" creates ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" file, and it has "inode/directory" with "bad" order of entries. Obvioulsy editing this file and making "nautilus-folder-handler.desktop" the first (or only) entry in this line reverts things to norm, but this should not happen in the first place. -- opening a directory using an application change associations incorrectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
