Works for me on rawhide (file-roller is 2.8.1). If you can still
reproduce please reopen and specify:

- What editor is used to open the file, what is your default text
editor and how you configured it
- What nautilus does on the same (unarchived) file

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2004-10-28 10:09:46 UTC

If the file is a perl script, with the extension .pl, emacs opens.

My default text editor (in gnome) is gedit.

If a "proper" editor is going to be opened rather than a simple text
editor, maybe there should be a preference for that.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2004-10-28 10:10:55 UTC

Do you want this reassinged to gnome, or to the preferred-apps program?

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2004-10-28 12:21:25 UTC

Following this link using epiphany also opens emacs:

The content type is text/txt.

Comment 6 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-10-29 10:23:50 UTC

The problem with perl files is user interface unintuitiveness ihmo.
The Text Editor tab in preferred applications is confusing. You can
use nautilus properties to change the editor for perl files.

I'm confused about the issue with epiphany. Unless you have text/txt
handler set, it should just use the text/plain handler which is the
one that open normal text files in nautilus (so gedit for you). Could
you test that with a clean user please ?

Comment 7 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-10-29 10:26:09 UTC

This is about the user interface problem:

Tested with a new user. Same problem.

Also a new problem- using the new account, clicking the web browser icon tried
to install firefox, which isn't installed. Euck.

Comment 9 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-10-29 12:21:13 UTC

Ok, this is a bit of a pain. I think the correct fix is to add an
alias to shared-mime but first we need to improve gnome-vfs alias support.

Comment 10 Need Real Name 2004-11-02 16:35:52 UTC

application/rtf opens with emacs too. Nice!

Comment 11 Matthias Clasen 2004-11-11 13:00:46 UTC

Marco, the upstream xdgmime sources provide alias subclass information
now, you should get that for free when you update the xdgmime in gnome-vfs

Comment 12 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-01-12 12:56:14 UTC

I think this is all fixed upstream. It required large changes,
included API, so I dont think we can release updates to fix it.
