From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1 Description of problem: When multiple files are selected, "Open" from the "File" or the "right-click" will execute a handler ("action") application once for every file selected, passing exactly one file argument every time. It seems to me that it should instead execute a handler only once, specifying all relevant files in one go, if several files have the same handler - provided that "can_handle_multiple_files" is true for the application in question. Specifically, I want this for RPM package files. If I select multiple rpms, it is usually because they are related rpms with inter-dependencies, and these are best installed together. Separate installation essentially works only if the operations are started in one specific order according to the dependencies, which makes the whole task a lot harder. Also, the dependencies might conceivably be structured in such a way that installation one package at a time just won't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert one of the Enterprise Linux install CDs 2. Open a directory view for the CD if necessary. 3. Go to directory RedHat/RPMS in the directory view for the CD. 4. Select two files 5. Select "Open" Actual Results: Two system-install-packages windows are opened - one for each of the two packages. Expected Results: One system-install-packages window is opened, allowing simulataneous installation of both packages (if they aren't already installed.) Additional info: Note that in the "browser" mode, Nautilus will also present an option "Open in 2 new windows". Currently, this makes no sense, since plain "Open" will also open in 2 new windows. And, yes, I do know that the package manger can automatically pick up the required package when a genuine install CD is used, but that's not the point.
