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
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

I'm not a nautilus developer, however I reopened the bug because I think it has

will close it again. Here's the link to the comment I wrote while re-opening:

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

Sebastien,
the correlation is, when a user changed in any way (incl. by accident) the
folder_open_with handling, afterwards is wondering and hence asking in forums,
why places menu /home now opens with eog, vlc, totem, firefox or whatever app

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
Thank you for your bug report, the tab has been removed on purpose

If it didn't make sense, then why does nautilus offer Open With with
folders? I still can (and do) open folders with audacious, banshee or
showfoto.
Something is wrong with the assumption that it didn't make sense.
I opened a bug with gnome bugzilla:
Changing the default doesn't make sense because when double clicking on
