There is no way Nautilus can second guess how the user wants to open a file. That is why nautilus allows you to both open in a view and with an app. Plus you can select what you want to do by default. In fact, I was asking _Redhat_ to fix the defaults, not you (Alex) to fix Nautilus, as I already know that Nautilus can do that. Well. I totally disagree with you on text files for instance (I read them much more often than I edit them when browsing with Nautilus), and there has been a lot of discussions about views vs apps on the mailing list, so its clear that this is not an trivial choice. Red hat will not change the defaults of the core types, since that would be subverting the direction of the Gnome project. If you want to affect the future direction of the Nautilus user experience, please take part in the Gnome project. |
