Description Vincent Noel 2005-07-11 16:38:22 UTC 
Example : 
When I right-click on a PDF, I get the following options :
"Open with acroread"
"Open with PDF viewer"
"Open with Evince Document Viewer"

If I go in the properties of this file, in the "Open With" pane, I get :
"acroread"
"Evince Document Viewer"
"PDF viewer"

It would be nice to have the entries sorted in the same way in both places
(except the default selection, of course)
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2005-07-12 03:39:54 UTC 
Not *quite* enhancement; definitely a bug- they should be sorted the same.
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2005-07-12 08:52:58 UTC 
...by what criterion?
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2005-10-01 20:35:54 UTC 
Ping. CCing usability maints. I'd either sort them by the number of times they
were used (maybe per time unit), or just sort the default first, then sort
alphabetically. The latter is IMHO also more appropriate if you scan for an
application starting with a particular letter because if you don't know the
extraordinary but smart "number of times used" criterion, you consider their
order random.
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2005-10-12 15:32:50 UTC 
Proposed patch, which sorts by name:

Comment 5 Christian Neumair 2005-10-19 18:35:15 UTC 
Fixed in Nautilus 2.12 and 2.13, this will make it into Nautilus 2.12.2.
