Description Josselin Mouette 2007-07-29 14:26:02 UTC 
Original bug : http://bugs.debian.org/433266

Currently it is possible to open a directory in nautilus from baobab. However this should not be restricted to nautilus; instead, all available MIME handlers for directories should be shown, using gnome-vfs.
Comment 1 Paolo Borelli 2012-07-31 10:45:48 UTC 
I added the mime type since it is correct, but I do not think nautilus shows "Open with..." for folders
Comment 2 Pedro Beja 2016-08-29 21:27:41 UTC 
Paolo yes Nautilus has the option "Open With Other Application" even for folders...
