Re: firefox open containing folder
Tim: On your desktop, or in a file browser, right-click on a folder, open the properties for it, and change the open-with preference to something more sensible. Jud Craft: No can do. Under current F11 GNOME 2.26.3, when you open Properties on a Folder, there is no Open With... tab. There -is- the Open With context menu, but that doesn't let you change the default action for opening folders. But the original poster said they'd resolved the issue, following my recommendation (based on older Fedora release, though). I wonder what they actually did, then? -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Does the KDE context menu change the default? I don't have Nautilus installed, so I will can only guide you with Dolphin and Konqueror. Dolphin Konqueror: 1. Right click and select properties 2. In the general tab, just beside the Type: field there is a small settings icon (looks like a wrench), click that. 3. In the new window, in the General tab you can select your Application Preference Order. But afaict this would be a default only for KDE. Nautilus: (strictly from memory) There should be a tab other than General, Emblems Permissions in the properties dialogue. (maybe Notes, not sure though) Go there and afaicr you should be able to pick your preferred app by selecting the appropriate radio button from a list. I believe if you change the settings here, it changes the global defaults and not just for the desktop environment. I might be wrong though. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Hello For this to work, you must first have something in your Download List 1. Select Tools | Downloads 2. In the window that pops up, right click on one of the items that you have previously downloaded. 3. On MY system, the second item from the top of the context menu that comes up is Open Containing Folder Here is a screenshot: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Firefox-OpenContainingFolder- ScreenShot.jpg I suppose it could be of really good use if one had their browser set so you could choose each time where you wanted something to be saved to. So, if you forget where you saved it, just right click and select Open Containing Folder I hope I did not misunderstand your question... Steven P.

Re: firefox open containing folder
Tim: It was common, and perhaps still is, to suffer that problem if you right-clicked on a folder, and opened the folder with something like a music player, or picture viewer program. It became a permanent setting, rather than something that only happened there and then. Skunk Worx: I don't think I've ever changed it, in fact I remember noticing after the fresh install of F11 it was happening and assumed it would eventually be fixed by updates so I waited a couple months before asking. Recently I managed to accidentally change mine, by using VLC. There was an option to open a whole folder with a button, and I used that to check through a collection of MPEGs in a folder, and afterwards I found my folder preferences had changed. I was not expecting it to do that. I set the association to /usr/bin/nautilus and checked the remember box and things seem ok now.

Is there a specific place to fix this? If it's the same thing as an older problem, then you've probably associated opening folders with another application, instead of the usual thing happening (Nautilus opening a list of the folder, on Gnome, and KDE doing something similar). If so, you could try the following: On your desktop, or in a file browser, right-click on a folder, open the properties for it, and change the open-with preference to something more sensible.
