To make a general statement, FileManager "open" functionality tries to export the content via content-hub, which will cause a copy of the content to be sent to the destination app and a copy to be made. A "view" operation should be supported as well that simply calls url- dispatcher with the correct url so the content can be viewed by the app but not copied. This should be done for pictures and videos that live under ~/Pictures, ~/Videos, or SD card to prevent copies.
** Summary changed: - Media player not registered with file manager as a handler for .MP4 files.... + FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518332 Title: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1518332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
