[Bug 250266] Re: "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted
This has been an ongoing problem for me for years. The list presented makes no sense in terms of the order the apps are presented. Also, since there are multiple entries for many apps, why are they not listed together? They are scattered at random throughout the list. If "the list is sorted using the mimetype associations to list the most likely applications that should be used first, that's not a bug" were true, all the duplicate entries should be listed together, but they are not. For example, Brasero Disk Burning is listed 5 times scattered through the list. Duplicate entries are created every time you open the menu editor and change something. They are found in ~/.local/share/applications so you can weed them out. This is a separate bug. I am mainly concerned with the listed order of apps. Please reopen this. It's not a feature, it's a bug. There should be a choice to list the apps alphabetically. -- "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 250266] Re: "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted
Same here, MichaelIM. The application list does not change regardless of the filetype, I tested the "open with..." dialogue on 3 different filetypes: .py, .jpg, .ps and the order of the list was the same. I think a preference to change the sorting clause would be the best solution ** Attachment added: "python file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20819794/Screenshot-Open%20With-2.png -- "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 250266] Re: "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted
I was about to file a new bug report but found this one. I am fairly certain that from a usability point of view, this is definitely a bug. I have the open with dialog up trying to open a text file (with a .txt extension). The dialog recognises the file type, but the application listing is: OpenOffice.org Drawing OpenOffice.org Presentation Firefox Web Browser Remote Desktop Viewer etc... This ordering makes no sense. The text editors I have installed are scattered throughout the list. This list should be sorted alphabetically so a user can find the application they need. ** Attachment added: "open dialog screenshot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17616387/Screenshot-Open%20With.png -- "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 250266] Re: "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted
ok, maybe sort by name can be included in the wish list. The proposed list is not always good for unknown files and thus it would be nice to have a list sorted by names if I already know which application is the right one. Concerning the dublicates, in my example I have some entries which are exactly the same (icon + description) and some seem to be the same (similar description). One entry is there three times... -- "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm both parts of this bug - duplicate entries and unsorted. I will mark as Triaged since we should have enough information for a developer to start working on this.
