[Bug 986189] Re: Missing "Always Use" checkbox in "Open With" Dialog
Generally I favor "fewer steps" to "more steps". Your conclusion that this cannot be undone is not correct. It can always be undone in the same step-intensive way you currently have to do it in the first place. 5 steps: Right-click > Properties > Open With > Set Default Application > "Close" http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-06-07_003_742x636.png Currently you have do all these non-intuitive steps anytime you want to change the default application, when usually it would be nicer to set this in one step as proposed, the first time you open the file type, and then only do the longer steps in the event that you "change you mind". I favor "fewer steps" to "more steps". Especially when it is more intuitive (as what I've proposed is).

** Description changed: 1) Right-click a file in nautilus 2) Select "Open With" 3) Select "Other Application" 4) See the attached screenshot MissingAlwaysCheckbox2.png Notice that it is missing the check box option to "Always use this program for this kind of file".

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

Notice how other operating systems handle this.
