I see file there right in the middle, is that not working somehow?

Hmm, it seems this is beacuse a file:/// uri uses three slashes. It works if you
type file://some/path/to/a/file

terminal

right, same comment on the ubuntu bug:

"Oops.  You're right, `file' isn't missing from SCHEME's definition.  The
problem is the regular expression that uses SCHEME.

    #define USERCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9"
    #define PASSCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9,?;.:/!%$^*&~\"#'"
    #define HOSTCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9"
    #define SCHEME    "(news|telnet|nttp|file|https?|ftps?|webcal)"
    #define USER      "[" USERCHARS "]+(:["PASSCHARS "]+)?"

      terminal_widget_match_add (screen->priv->term,
          "\\<(" SCHEME "://(" USER "@)?)[" HOSTCHARS ".]+(:[0-9]+)?"
          "(/[-A-Za-z0-9_$.+!*(),;:@&=?/~#%]*[^]'.}>) \t\r\n,\\\"])?\\>",
          FLAVOR_AS_IS);

It insists on there being one or more of [HOSTCHARS.] after the first
two slashes so it fails to match `file:///etc/passwd'.  I don't know if
any other of the listed schemes can also have `///'."

opening file://path doesn't use nautilus though, but that's probably an another bug

Commited the nntp part.

Fixed in CVS HEAD just now. Thanks.

Using gnome-terminal 2.13.2 from Ubuntu Dapper I get the following warning when I start a gnome-terminal: 

* (gnome-terminal:5471): WARNING **: Error compiling regular expression "\<(file:///(/[-A-Za-z0-9_$.+!*(),;:@&=?/~#%]*[^]'.}>)

Checking terminal-screen.c I found the following: 

  terminal_widget_match_add (screen->priv->term,
                             "\\<file:///(" URLPATH ")?", FLAVOR_AS_IS);

Shouldn't it be: 

"\\<file:///(" URLPATH ")?\\>"

/torkel

2.13.2 is old, it's fixed in CVS HEAD.
