The last comment of defaulting app to xdg-open (or gnome-open) seems to be simple to implement and will greatly ease ubuntu experience.
This bug is a major issue for normal users because : 1) they don't always know the name of the application, nautilus usually choose for them. 2) they don't know the exact command line name for the application (example : in the menu you will click on Text Editor OpenOffice.org, but the real binary name is in fact ooffice) 3) only advanced users know how to browse to /bin and use the keyboard to find the app between the 129 applications I have in /bin 4) they have to do again an association filetype->program. They usually did that already in nautilus. So I want to promote this bug to the hundredpapercut project See also brainstorm : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4755/ ** Also affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox does not know what to do with downloaded files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
