I upgraded from Hardy when Intrepid was in beta, maybe it is a carry over from that?
I just found the problem. Not the root cause, but the specific problem when it doesn't work. When the .htaccess file is on my desktop, its mime-type is: "plain text document (text/plain)". Thus, when I double-click it, gEdit opens it. Yet an .htaccess file uploaded to an FTP server has a mime-type of "unknown (application/octet-stream)". Thus, when I double-click it, this error appears: Could not display "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/folder/.htaccess". There is no application installed for this file type My apologies for not stating this earlier, it looks like I only receive this error over FTP and not locally on my desktop. I edited the 'Could not display' part of my bug above because it contained sensitive information about my server, not realizing I was taking important information out. ** Attachment added: "example .htaccess file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18820419/.htaccess -- Can not register .htaccess files to a program https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287942 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
