Please describe the problem: Despite changing the "Opens with" dialog to point to my text editor of choice, SciTE or some other text editors, gedit opens. Steps to reproduce: 1. open nautilus and navigate to a folder on a remote samba server 2. right-clicked on a file with application/x-php mime-type (php file) 3. clicked add and browsed for other text editor (I chose SciTE and tried both relative and non-relative paths) 4. selected the radio button for SciTE that showed up in the list and closed the dialog 5. double-clicking any php file continued to launch gedit Actual results: Despite changing the program associated with that mime-type, gedit launches and opens that file for editing Expected results: the program associated with that mime-type to open the file instead of gedit Does this happen every time? Yes, now no matter what, gedit opens the files Other information: I believe this was previously working, and an update was pushed out and it broke.
Are you still seeing this problem? maybe the other programs doesn't support gnome-vfs and hence they can't open files on a remote location. May be we should close this bug report unless it's still happening with the latest version of gnome. Cheers.
