Public bug reported:
When Gnome 2 still was in use, I easily could find the codec of for
example an avi file by right clicking and looking at its properties.
This was particularly useful when moving an avi file to a multimedia
player, since not all codecs are supported by media players.
Now, since Ubuntu 11.10, I have to open the file in for example vlc and
search for the information I need, only to know if it can play on my
multimedia player. This is quite a hassle for something that used to be
very easy in Gnome 2.
Is this another regression (like not being able to choose an app from a
custom location to open a file with)?
It really starts to be frustrating that in Gnome simple things like
these are overlooked. If it is because of the focus on ease of use, I
can guarantee this is not an example of 'ease of use'. On the contrary,
it makes the use of linux more complicated. Not everybody knows how to
find the information I described, but I'm sure many people would benefit
having this info available in Nautilus.
