I can't reproduce this issue for MP3s but I can reproduce this issue for PNGs on Files 3.26.3-0ubuntu4 on Ubuntu 18.04. I've reported this upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/415

(This is what actually happens if you select an application with the open with ... dialog) What happens: Nautilus launches for each file a separate instance of the standard-application. Example: 10 mp3 files selected opens 10 player-windows of audacious, qmmp, vlc, mpv or what ever is selected as standard. (I did try all of the named programs) This happens only if the group of files is open via pressing Return or selecting 'open' in context-menu. It does not happen when selecting an application via 'open with ...' in context-menu. Same behavior with groups of png or jpg files and photo-viewers. Reconstruction: 1. Open Nautilus 2. Set a mediaplayer as standard-application for mp3-files. 3. Open a group of mp3-files by selecting them and pressing 'Enter' or using the 'Open'-Item in the context-menu ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ubuntu1 [modified: usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sun Nov 5 21:02:23 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-28 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1730231/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
