Title:
Its impossible to open a text file on a FAT volume with its assigned
application
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When accessing a FAT volume, all the files have the execute bit set.
When you double click (or right click and choose "Open") a file that
has a text MIME type, nautilus assumes it is a script and offers to
run it (or run in a terminal or display it), regardless of what
application is assigned to actually open the file.
Use case: an SRT file is stored on a USB memory stick that comes
formatted as FAT out of the factory. The user has Gnome Subtitles set
as the default application for SRT files (which are a type of text
file). The user plugs the USB memory stick into the computer and
double clicks the SRT file and expect Gnome Subtitles to open the
file. Instead they get a "Run or Display" dialog.
In such a case, even the "Open With" list does not include the needed
application - if the user wants to open their SRT file they must right
click the file, choose Open With->Other Application, search for Gnome
Subtitles and select it. Of course Nautilus does not actually
"remember" this setting and the user has to do this again for the next
file.
