Hi I am still experiencing the problem! Creating a .whatever file, it opens directly in gedit, using nautilus on a local drive. Doing exactly the same using nautilus on a sftp, it will:
1) Complain file of unknown type 2) Clicking "select applications" will not suggest any default application, so need to click on View all Applications. Then selecting gedit will open once. 3) Not remember any choice, so every time I close gedit and try to reopen, problem 1) and 2) occur. When was the bug thought to be fixed? I have: $nautilus --version: GNOME nautilus 3.36.3 $apt list libglib2.0-bin Listing... Done libglib2.0-bin/focal-updates,now 2.64.3-1~ubuntu20.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libglib2.0-bin/focal-updates 2.64.3-1~ubuntu20.04.1 i386 Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869881 Title: html file detected as unknown application/octet-stream To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1869881/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
