Good eye! It doesn't look for "certain" extensions, it looks for *any* extension. And most of Linux executables do not have any extension.
The fix should be to change the filter pattern from "*.*" (which matches all files *with* an extension) to "*" (all files). Or, even better, to files that have the executable bit set, if such filter is possible. ** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162596 Title: Boinc exlusive applications dialogue doesnt show binaries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/1162596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
