Description Mikael Hallendal 2004-04-30 07:57:45 UTC 
Right-click on a folder, Open with, Other program...

Chose terminal and set it to be default action on Folder objects. This will
bring up a terminal when you click a folder. If you go back and remove terminal
as the default action you get a "No action associated with Folder"-dialog. I
can't find a way to make it open a spatial window again...

That is why the "Open with another program" option has been disabled in the last
nautilus (2.8 I think)... The "Open with" tab in the properties window is still
there though (and it's bug 152407). So I guess it's still possible to trigger
this bug.
Anyway, opening a folder with another program seems like a reasonable request
(see bug 151747), so a middle-ground solution should be found (e.g. associate
folders with nautilus by default and make that impossible to change).

Comment 3 Matthew Gatto 2004-11-06 07:23:17 UTC 
This isn't applicable anymore in 2.8 as long as you can't associate a directory
to 'Open With Terminal' in the first place (well you can, but it doesn't take
effect). Closing as WONTFIX since this applies to code which isn't there
anymore, reopen if I'm wrong.
