Description Carsten Menke 2003-01-12 01:15:21 UTC 
When You do a 

gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new 'applications:///'

And add a new launcher of 'Directory' with this method, there is actually a
.desktop entry created instead of a .directory entry, thus Nautilus is
failing to display this folder, and gives an the following error:

'applications:///foobar.desktop
This is a test Nautilus content view component'

Should this be a fault of Nautilus, please move it to the appropiate
category. If needed, the Summary could also be changed to better reflect
the issue then.
Comment 1 Carsten Menke 2003-01-12 01:18:50 UTC 
BTW, why I think this is important is, that you normally create new
launchers and menus by using 

Nautilus -> go -> Start-here:->applications:///

Then you actually create a Directory first, to change into this
directory and add more launchers, due to this bug you can create the
directory but you can not change into it while in applications:///, so
adding new launchers into the new added directory is impossible using
this way.
