Description Daniel Macks 2006-07-17 22:53:51 UTC 
The Settings...Edit Mime Types... menu tries to launch gnome-file-types-properties, but that utility has been completely removed from the GNOME control center many versions ago. Looks like nautilus contains a similar functionality. I don't know how much public API it has for a mimetype associations editor, or if you'd have to import a lot of nautilus code to get something useful.
Comment 1 Götz Waschk 2006-10-14 08:52:33 UTC 
I can confirm this problem. The application was removed in GNOME 2.8. This bug is still valid in the 20061010 CVS branch of the 1.2.x branch.
Comment 2 Ilya Barygin 2008-12-05 20:03:59 UTC 
I confirm this bug with GNOME Commander 1.2.6 (actually, 1.2.6-1 as found in Ubuntu 8.10). Similarly, nothing happens if you open Properties window for a file and press the "Opens with:" - "Change" button.
Comment 3 Payo D 2009-08-26 03:56:47 UTC 
Confirm - GNOME Commander 1.2.7, Ubuntu 9.04. When you want to change association, nothing happens.
Comment 4 Alessio Treglia 2011-05-08 12:08:52 UTC 
Still reproducible with the latest release "1.2.8.11"
Comment 5 go8765 2012-01-26 16:42:50 UTC 
Still reproducible with 1.4
Comment 6 Martin BAYARD 2012-11-06 12:51:51 UTC 
Still reproducible with RHEL6 and GNOME Commander 1.2.8.8 : impossible to change default application for a given file type :(

Comment 8 Uwe Scholz 2014-02-07 10:08:31 UTC 
To stop confusing GCMD users, the feature of editing default applications via MIME entries will be dropped in the upcoming release v1.4. The feature itself is on the TODO list...
