Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
How to reproduce this bug: shell> nautilus ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de Right-click on the textfile "welcome.message" Choose "open with other application" / "Mit anderer Anwendung öffnen" Choose "custom application" / "Einen benutzerdefinierten Befehl verwenden" Try a custom application to open the file, let's say gvim: It will open, but the editor is empty. Trying this with konqueror (a filemanager used by the kde) you will get the following behavior: * If the application is a kde application (somehow) the kde io-slaves are used. * If the application is not a kde application konqueror copies the file to /tmp and opens the application with the tempfile as it's first argument * If the application writes to the file in /tmp konqueror asks, if it should upload the file again. That's very practical and should be introduced to nautilus If that's a lot of effort, nautilus could as a first step provide the application with the full url of the document. gvim for example will be able to cope with this!
