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!

Title:
Regression - Can't "Open with" on Folders
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on a folder in Nautilus, and its
context-menu provided an "Open With" option that was especially
convenient for queuing up a folder of media file into a variety of
media players (like VLC for example).
In Ubuntu 13.04, this option is missing and therefore requires
additional steps to achieve the same result:
(1) Launch media player
(2) Position Player beside Nautilus
(3) Drag and drop folder into media player.
This regression has removed a previously handy feature. It was a lot
easier to just right-click the folder and "open with" the media player
of my choosing. That "Open With" menu item would also remember every
application I've ever opened a folder with, and it would list those
previously-used-applications for an even quicker selection process. We
need to bring this back!
