I upgraded to the 14.04 alpha, and this regression-bug persists; you still cannot "Open With" on a folder in 14.04.
I've been using Ubuntu exclusively since version 7.04. Around Ubuntu 12.10 I started noticing this regression. It is so convenient to use "Open With" on folders especially when they contain music or videos. I like being able to right-click on a folder and then open with VLC for example. Without this feature, I have open VLC, and then position its window in a manner that I can drag and drop the folder into VLC. I miss the days when I could just right-click the folder and then > Open With > VLC The same is true for music folders. 1) Right-Click the folder (containing music files) 2) Select "Open With" 3) Select your music application (Audacious in my case). Very handy! We need to bring this back for 14.04 LTS! -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This rev removed the context option. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/nautilus/master-git/revision/16061 While unlikely to be reconsidered upstream I know many Ubuntu users find the option handy.
