I have found a workaround for my specific problem: gksu gedit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list Add line: application/msword=wine-extension-doc.desktop Under [Default Applications](previously empty) Followed by(in terminal): update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
But shouldn't this(or something equivalent) be done by Ubuntu once I select it as my default application to open .doc files in nautilus? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702938 Title: Can't use custom launchers for file associations -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
