Package: gnome-shell Version: 2.28.1~git20091028-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
The actual reason here is thad docInfo.js only selects applications that claim to be able to handle URIs. Since glib (as of 2.20, see devhelp of GAppInfo) converts this to a local path anyway (when possible) this is not necessary especially not for local files. Attached patch drops that requirement local files. Cheers, -- Guido

This fixes the case where we want to handle e.g. text files with gvim which doesn't support URIs. --- js/misc/docInfo.js | 7 ++++++- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/js/misc/docInfo.js b/js/misc/docInfo.js index 021dce4..4abd050 100644 --- a/js/misc/docInfo.js +++ b/js/misc/docInfo.js @@ -36,8 +36,13 @@ DocInfo.prototype = { // shorter in terms of lines of code, we are not doing so // because that would duplicate the work of retrieving the // mime type. + let needsUri = true; - let appInfo = Gio.app_info_get_default_for_type(this.mimeType, true); + if (this.uri.match("^file://")) { + needsUri = false; + } + + let appInfo = Gio.app_info_get_default_for_type(this.mimeType, needsUri); if (appInfo != null) { appInfo.launch_uris([this.uri], Main.createAppLaunchContext()); -- 1.6.5.2
