[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
The workaround that I found is using the nautilus-actions package. It makes it possible to define actions to take for files that match a specific criteria (even folders). When a file is right clicked, if it matches a predefined criteria, the specified action will appear under a menu called Nautilus-Actions actions in the popup menu. This is the closest to the original functioning that I've been able to find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366963 Title: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/366963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
In search for a solution, I ended up here. Sort of sad to see that the decision seems finalized in not including the feature. I wish Nautilus could have this feature as an option in the properties. The team can make the default to not allow open-as for directories, but those who adore the feature can still simply enable it. Nautilus has not much options available in its properties but I suppose that is so to keep things simple, and I do respect the decision. I understand that decision making is very hard. I thank the team developing Nautilus for all of their hard decision making and their effort to bring a great tool for everyone.

[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
Ubuntu Tweak exposes the open with setting for folders. Click on System - File Type Manager in Ubuntu Tweak's sidebar, choose All for the category, find folder in the list of file types, and click Edit. This fixes problems similar to Revup's in a slightly more intuitive way, but it would still be nice for this setting to appear in Nautilus itself. It is worth noting that even if you use Ubuntu Tweak to pick something other than Nautilus as the default application to open folders, (most?) file managers will continue to function as normal. For example, even after choosing VLC as the default application, I could still browse through directories structures in Nautilus, Dolphin and Thunar. The only changes were that VLC appeared as an open with option in the context menu for folders, and that gnome-panel Places used VLC to open folders. So at least in my case Sebastien Bacher's justification that Changing the default doesn't make sense because when double clicking on a directory in nautilus you get whatever sofrware started rather than the directory open when you do that change seems contradictory to what actually happens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366963 Title: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
Apologies if this is a different bug altogether. I agree there is a perfectly good use case for retaining the ability to open folders with other applications, as with files. For instance, I like to open movie or music folders (not necessarily as a default action though) with totem, so that all the files contained in the folder appear in the playlist. This is particularly useful for multiply nested folders. I have been doing so since Edgy, I believe. My problem now, since the introduction of these new 'features' is twofold. 1) While I still have the ability to right-click on a folder and choose 'Open With Other Application', and, say, select Totem to open the folder, this option does not automatically become part of an 'Open With' list of associated viewers (even if the 'Remember' tickbox is checked). I have to physically fire up the 'Open With Other Application' dialog and look up Movie Player from the list every time I want to do this. 2) Since there is no 'Open With' tab in the 'Properties' section for folders anymore either, I cannot add Totem as an option this way either. (Note I obviously don't want totem to be my default folder viewer, but I *do* want it to be an easily accessible associated viewer for when dealing with particular folders) Also, I seem to remember that opening an app with a different program (and checking the 'remember' tickbox) didn't necessarily make that program the default, unless you specified it in the properties section ... am I making this up? Was that changed on purpose? If so, then my suggestion would be to somehow be very explicit what 'Remember this app' does, or perhaps add another dependent checkbox, like so: [x] Remember this app (i.e. add it to the list of default handlers, but not necessarily as *the* default viewer) [ ] Make this app the default handler for this filetype (tickbox greyed out if the first one is unchecked) This way, the user knows exactly what will happen with that viewer, and I believe is a reasonably user-friendly way of doing it.

[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
This bug affects me as well. I tend to have DVDs stored in their file format on my hard drive (eg Caddyshack/VIDEO_TS/). Because of this, I set folder to open with totem--that way I can quickly open DVD folders in totem via a right click. Because there is no longer an open with option in the properties tab now, I can't remove open with associations that I used to be able to in the properties menu. Thus, I have a question and a suggestion. As for my question, how do I remove the open with application x (say I set it to use vlc but I no longer want to see open with vlc) from the little menu that pops up during a right click. As for my suggestion, I think that it would be best if the nautilus open with returned to the folder properties. Also, I have not heard of any new users being confused by having an open with tab in the folders property. The way it is set up now certainly does confuse people, myself included obviously, because there is a visible way to make folders open with but no visible way to undo / edit that open with for folders.

[Bug 366963] Re: nautilus open with property no longer available for folders
Hi, just a follow up, to sort out and avoid misconceptions. I came along finding users having the problem that places menu open with a specific application, e.g. Totem, VLC, which wasn't expected, (especially after a dist-upgrade). Hence I think, this might be one reason for removing this tab, because making a file to open with a certain app results in an entry in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and has something to do with inodes. For some it helped to remove the entry there, others open places - computer to right click on a folder to choose 'open with folder' again. On the other hand users with Jaunty miss the tab now in case to correct misbehaviour. It appears there are two separate scenarios. This command: xdg-mime query default inode/directory results in nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and here: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list is e.g. the entry inode/directory=totem.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus.desktop; If my thoughts go the wrong path please correct me, thanks. Though I asked myself, why I was never affected by this. It occurs I never right click e.g. a music file to open it with a different app. I either double click on the file or I open an app and choose file or directory from within the app. The question is/was how do users open their files and is it rational to have many different choices, regarding the underlying concept. ##Note: I'm not familiar with correlations, rather were looking for a helpful answer for someone else with all the mentioned issues.
