Good point; it is insane to allow changing the default handler for
directories and doubly so to have it on by default.
** Package changed: ubuntu => nautilus (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Low => Medium
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: Won't Fix => Triaged
** Description changed:
Right clicking on a folder and choosing open with, then selecting
another application has the "remember this application" box checked by
default. If you proceed, that application will be remembered and used
to open folders in the future, which can cause confusion.
+
+ Changing the default handler for folders either should not be allowed at
+ all, or at the very least, the option should not be enabled by default.
To fix it, do the following:
* Open the Computer from the Places menu
* open a partition, which does have some folders in it
* right click on any folder
* select Open with Other application from the context menu
* select the File browser as the app to open with
* make sure the "remember this application for 'folder' files" is checked
* click OK
