Somehow the assigned application with which to open a connection to a networked machine has become Videos, which is really Totem. If I right click on the networked machine's icon in Nautilus I see Videos as the default. If I hover over "Open With" the first alternative is "Sound Converter." Under that is "Other Application...". Clicking on "Other Application..." opens a window that says, "Select an application to open'smb-server-[name of machine], with a panel below that has only the statement:
------------------------ No applications available to open "smb-server-[name of machine]" Click "Show other applications", for more options, or "Find applications online" to install a new application. ------------------------ Clicking on "Show Other Applications" gives me a long list of applications that are installed on my machine. Two of them are "Files". I can highlight them or choose them, but I can't see what they are links to. In earlier versions of Ubuntu, there was also a way to indicate that the application I chose from that list was to be the remembered application for the future. For example, the default application with which to open a .mp3 file was Rhythmbox. I didn't want all the stuff that comes with Rhythmbox, but just wanted to listen to the file, so I changed the default to Totem (usually called Movie Player in the past). I don't find the check box to make my choice the default in 14.04. Does anyone know if they moved that feature to somewhere else? Also, how can I tell if there's a difference between Files and Files, or more specifically, what do each of those links point to? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
