[Bug 667071] Re: archive manager
Interesting. I have seen those comments, but that is a reaction of one user. One user has done it by mistake. But I don't really agree that that many users would choose Open With for Folders and use different applications to open them. As for myself, I have had this behavior with VLC and I am certain that I haven't used the Open With dialog (on the install I have experienced it - clean maverick install with some additional softwares installed - the bug appeared in around 15 days of usage ... my memory isn't that bad ) before the day I have decided to fix this problem on my computer, and I am certain that I would not assign VLC to folders. So it's ok to Invalidate this bug, although I don't really agree, but as I don't know what could cause this, and it would require deeper investigation (IF it really is a bug, and to do that I do not have the necessary knowledge). So please, if there will be more than 3 new duplicates of this bug, take reopening it in consideration.

I realize the original problem was caused by opening a folder containing video by choosing Open with other Application, Movie Player and leaving the default Remember this application for 'folder' files checkbox checked.

[Bug 667071] Re: archive manager
I tried the resetting folder properties to open folders using the 'file browser', as Robert suggested and presto it's all back to the way it was. I remember the archive manager was trying to open the zip file i downloaded and it would appear to load and then nothing would happen. I tried this several times and still nothing. I closed all windows and then manged to get to the file and open manually with the archive manager. Anyway, after listening to the music files I couldn't open my places folders anymore without Rythymbox opening instead. The workaround works and I'll just use that if it happens again. eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667071 Title: archive manager -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 667071] Re: archive manager
Hi, The workaround in (10) didn't work for me. The other observation is that xdg-open / triggers the same problem. (Which makes me wonder if it's related to the breakage in bug 670128) But xdg-open is calling gvfs-open, and gvfs-open /triggers the same I can see that gvfs-open has read /usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop and that tells it to run exo-open --launch FileManager filename (that's from exo-utils, part of xfce) If I run exo-preferred-applications I can see that File Manager is set to evince (!); if I flick that to Nautilus it opens. (Although leaves a straggling window saying it's opening it even though it did). Has everyone else who has this problem also got exo-utils installed? I would have thought that we'd want xfce stuff to co-exist with a gnome desktop without getting in eachothers way.

Re: [Bug 667071] Re: archive manager
Thanks for your email. I would like to ask what, in your opinion causes the bug to appear in the first place? I was having with the old Gateway notebook's slowness, I installed 10.10 into VMWare's virtual box on my much higher-performance MacBookPro Unibody with 8GB of memory. 10.10 is yet, quite new, very fast. So far, this bug hasn't shown up, but if you know the conditions that cause this rollover, then I'd be happy to watch out for it as I develop the VMware's version which I think I'll continue to use, for now.

The problem is that clicking any bookmarked place from the Places menu results in opening archive manager... so the bookmarked places can be accessed only by clicking the Computer place, and then from the sidebar selecting the bookmark you want to access. This happens to me too, only for me the app opening is the Shotwell photo manager.
