Description of problem: In GNOME, clicking Places, Home starts easytag (it should open the home folder). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): easytag.x86_64 2.1-5.fc9 This may be related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336541 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418760
I've checked these bug report, and looking at the current easytag.desktop file, I see only : MimeType=audio/x-mp3;application/ogg; So I really don't understand how easytag can be opening directories... could you double check : - The /usr/share/applications/easytag.desktop file (MimeType line) - The output from "grep default /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache"
Yah, those are the obvious places. But there's nothing there, see below. It's perfectly reproducible. If I yum remove easytag, the Home, Desktop, and Pictures links under Places all work fine. If I yum install easytag, all three of those links start easytag instead of opening folders in nautilus. $ grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/easytag.desktop MimeType=audio/x-mp3;application/ogg; $ grep default /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache x-directory/gnome-default-handler=gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop And here's the relevant stuff from gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop: TryExec=nautilus Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U X-Gnome-Vfs-System=gio NoDisplay=true Terminal=false Icon=folder-open StartupNotify=true Type=Application MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;
Same thing happened to me, but in my case gthumb-importer started instead of easytag. I 'solved' it this way: * Open nautilus * Right click on a folder * Select properties * Choose the 'Open with' tab * Select 'Open Folder' * Click <Close>
Sounds like a Nautilus problem.
I confirm that comment #3 offers a workaround. Also, keeping Matthias in the loop...
Personally, I'm not sure it is a nautilus error. I think it is a user error, or maybe better a HID problem. I know for myself I changed the behavior when opening a folder. I didn't realize I changed it for all folders and not only the folder I was working with. This although I am aware that if you change 'Open with' in the properties it happens for all files within the same class.
Well, the easytag case is definitely not user error. $ yum install easytag -> problem exists $ yum remove easytag -> problem does not exist Note that no user intervention -- such as setting nautilus options -- was necessary to cause the problem.
Hmm, strange, I do have a Gentoo machine with Nautilus 2.22.3 and easytag 2.1.5 which does not have this problem. I haven't tried easytag on my FC9 laptop, but will try that tonight.
I just installed easytag on my Fedora machine and it didn't change the way folders opened. I didn't experience the problems you're talking about. So in my case solution #3 really solved my problem, sorry.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
The bug occurs also in fc11. WORKAROUND: 1. vi /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache 2. set the line that refers to x-directory to be: x-directory/normal=gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; However, one should not allow the default gnome file browser to be dethroned just by installing another package. Some warning or verification should be given. Thanks.
This also happens in F12
I've re-checked the /usr/share/applications/easytag.desktop file I have on an F-12 system, and just saw : MimeType=audio/x-mp3;application/ogg;x-directory/normal; That explains. But why it wasn't there last time I checked... I really don't know. I'll be pushing a new package which removes the "x-directory/normal" type from the file.

The previous update was never pushed to stable, easytag-2.1.6-5 was instead.
I'm facing this problem on F14.
I've manually downloaded and installed easytag-2.1.6-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm from koji, and It's also buggy. If easytag installed, then folders from Places menu are opened by easytag.
