GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 48391
Current working directory not changed on an "open with"
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When I open a file with either the default "open" or with an "open with" the current working directory is my home directory. EXAMPLE #1 I have ps2pdf set up as an "open with" option for the postscript mime type and all teh resulting output pdf's end up in my home directory instead of the .ps file's directory. EXAMPLE #2 I navigate through my docs directory into the subdirectory some three deep, and fire up applix via double clicking on a .aw file in the directory. If I were to do a "Save As...", I have to navigate again through the directory structure inside Applix's file dialog. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:38:17 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
This problem still lingers in GNOME2 Nautilus.
Really minor, though, no? Even borderline feature?

bug 66233 adds that if you simply click on an icon to launch it, the directory should also be changed...
