Description draxx31 2011-11-29 08:27:22 UTC
Description of problem:
I have some kind of files that I would execute with a particular application (like .jar file). When I go in Nautilus -> "Open with another application", I am not able to execute a custom command (like java -jar) or find manually the location of the desired application.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Nautilus 3.2.1 / Fedora 16

How reproducible:
See the steps below.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click with right button of the mouse on a file
2. Click on "Open with another application"
3. Click on "Show other applications"
4. The custom command or search application is not found
  
Actual results:
Impossible to open a file with a non referenced application

Expected results:
To be able to open any files with the application of our choice and / or choose a custom command to do this

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 17:46:53 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 22:39:58 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.
