Description Michael Lee Yohe 2002-11-27 16:19:33 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
Nautilus's "Open With" feature is almost like SHIFT+<right clicking> a file in
Windows Explorer.  However, Nautilus's "Open With" feature is handled
"automagically", giving the user the ability to configure what type of viewer to
assign to that particular type of file _if and only if_ the "Open With" menu
subsection is available to the user.

So, something as simple as a C source file which I wish to open up with Anjuta
cannot be done because Nautilus already thinks it knows how I wish to have the
file opened.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a file that Nautilus does not recognize.
2. Right click on the file and find the "Open With" option.
3. Now, select a different file that Nautilus _does_ recognize (like a C source
file).
4. Right click on the file.
	

Actual Results:  "Open With" option is disabled because Nautilus thinks it
understands how to handle the file.

Expected Results:  "Open With" option should always be available.

Additional info:

$ rpm -q nautilus
nautilus-2.0.6-6
