You seriously need to either fork Gnome or replace it with something else.

Closing, it's an upstream UI decision and is not going to be changed in Ubuntu alone, it should reported on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues and discussed there ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- 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/1647217 Title: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1647217/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

"the current maintainers are quite open to comments" Doesn't seem like it. Check out: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747706 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777132 In the former several people expressed their frustration about this change, no comment was arguing for the change, they were told to open a separate issue. They did (see the second link) and there the maintainer doesn't seem to be reasonable about this at all. He is very polite though, but pretty certain about the new behaviour being the best one for most of the users. The maintainer referred to this usability test: https://renatagegaj.wordpress.com/2016/08/23/gnome-usability-test-results-part-1/ https://renatagegaj.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/gnome-usability-test-results-part-2/ It has nothing to do with Nautilus and it's based on a feedback from 10 users!!! Wow. How many users does Gnome have from how many countries/cultures, professions, age groups, etc.? And this is not the first time that I see some unexplainable change occur in a major component (i.e. something that I use on a daily basis) of Ubuntu with a similiar reaction from the maintainer(s). And it'll not get fixed/reverted before one or two Gnome/Ubuntu releases, I'm pretty sure of it. I only hope somebody comes up with a PPA where a patched version of Nautilus will become available with the old behaviour of the "Open with" right-click menu item. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #777132 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777132 -- 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/1647217 Title: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1647217/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1647217] Re: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety
The nautilus update is bringing changes and issue indeed, but we can't really stay on an old unmaintained version for ever especially when some users and other desktop variants would like to get the update. Having the old version often lead to new bugs when e.g gtk is updated. That said about that specific issue we would probably consider a patch if it's not too complex/difficult to maintain over updates, but it might be worth trying to convince upstream as well that the old behaviour was better, the current maintainers are quite open to comments -- 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/1647217 Title: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1647217/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1647217] Re: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety
@Sebastien The decision taken by upstream is somewhat permanent and goes by somewhat their so called HIG. What is the point of filing another bug upstream when we already know the answer? I don't understand these weird decision taken taken by Ubuntu in recent time. Nautilus 3.14 was working wonderfully well. But yet Ubuntu decided to upgrade. Now everything is left half-baked. No global menu, several context menu action missing, nautilus crashes every time when it is copying large .git etc...list goes on on and on. About this bug I can provide a patch for nautilus and gtkappchooser to bring back old menu. But will Ubuntu accept it? -- 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/1647217 Title: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1647217/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
