Title:
On double click, Nautilus opens the file with the wrong application
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Observed behaviour
Assume I have a file called screenshot.png and double click it; Nautilus will
start the image viewer. If I omit the extension, Nautilus is clever enough to
figure it out and open it with the image viewer. If I'm however stupid enough
to rename the file to screenshot.txt, Nautilus decides that it's no longer an
image and opens with a texteditor (or attempts to).
Expected behaviour
Nautilus should use the file content to determine the type of file and the
associated application instead of extensions.
Reported for Ubuntu 12.04; also observed with an up-to-date 10.04 and
also reported to be the case on 13.04 (see
