This is still a bug in December 2016. Tested in Gnome on 16.04.

I've noticed this bug for years but only reported it now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378783 Title: xdg-open *.desktop opens text editor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/378783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
