Public bug reported: I double-clicked a .chm file (compiled help) in Nautilus sessioninstaller pops up saying no installed app can handle the file I ask it to search one for me
what happen: - no app is found - a dialog tells me to confirm installing the software (even when there's nothing to install and Install option is disabled) what I expected to happen: - apps should have been found. There's two apps in the main repo: xCHM and fbReader (i tried xCHM and works fine) - I should have been able to install one of those and open the file - if there where really no app to handle the file, no "Install software?" dialog should show, just a notice. Using Ubuntu 12.04.01 sessioninstaller: Instalados: 0.20+bzr128-0ubuntu1.2 I confirmed this on Ubuntu 12.10 as well. Not sure if it's an sessioninstaller bug or if it depends on some xCHM package metadata to work.
