I had asked about this problem a week or two ago.
Thinking that I may have caused my own problem (perhaps by mis-setting a
parameter somewhere), I've set up a brand new profile to see what
happens "out of box."
When I download a file and RMB "Open Containing Folder," SM indeed
prompts for an application - the "Launch Application" panel pops up,
displays no pre-set list of applications, and asks me to choose an
application.
I imagine the issue is related to helper application list. Before the
first download attempt, there was no entry for "file"; following the
first attempt, there's now an "always ask" entry.
I can of course select nautilus as application associated with "file"
content type (and when I do so, "open containing folder" thereafter
works as I'd intend).
But... I should think that "open containing folder" (a perfectly
self-explanatory label) should just open the folder without need to
specify an app. Before recently (SM 2.4 - 2.6), I never made any such
selection, and I never have had this problem.
It seems to me it could just be a menu problem, i.e., that SM is
attempting to do an "open" rather than an "open containing folder."
Is anyone else seeing this same behavior? Agree it's a bug? I can go
ahead and file a bug report, if that's the correct next step.
Regards, RL
