Description Scott R. Godin 2009-08-25 21:05:34 UTC
Created attachment 358634 [details]
patch to correct desktop entry issue for multiple file selections in nautilus 

Description of problem: Nautilus opens several separate instances of gvim when you choose "open with.. vim" from the right-click menu, when you have several files selected in the nautilus window, instead of using a single instance


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-X11-7.2.148-1.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a nautilus window on a folder with several text files
2. drag-select more than one, or control-click to select more than one
3. choose Open With... and from the popup, choose Vi iMproved
  
Actual results:
nautilus opens a separate instance of gvim for each file

Expected results:
gvim opens all files in one instance, which you switch around using buffer commands or the buffers menu at the top.

Additional info:
changing %f to %F in the /usr/share/applications/fedora-gvim.desktop file as per the Desktop Entry Specifications at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html#exec-variables  solves the problem
