** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080328 Title: On double click, Nautilus opens the file with the wrong application Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Observed behaviour Assume I have a file called screenshot.png and double click it; Nautilus will start the image viewer. If I omit the extension, Nautilus is clever enough to figure it out and open it with the image viewer. If I'm however stupid enough to rename the file to screenshot.txt, Nautilus decides that it's no longer an image and opens with a texteditor (or attempts to). Expected behaviour Nautilus should use the file content to determine the type of file and the associated application instead of extensions. Reported for Ubuntu 12.04; also observed with an up-to-date 10.04 and also reported to be the case on 13.04 (see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/214355) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-33.52-generic 3.2.31 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-33-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu15 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Nov 18 13:58:04 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '1178x772+740+399' InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_ZA:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1080328/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
