Description Karl Lattimer 2010-05-25 15:33:47 UTC 
If you invoke nautilus with nautilus /path/to/some/file.txt nautilus generates an error message; Could not display "filename" location is not a folder. 

This is pointless - applications like firefox/chrome *could* if the option was available, show you the EXACT file you've downloaded with nautilus, if nautilus was modified to instead of display this error message - attempt to select the file in question.
