"File Properties -> Open With -> Change" button doesn't work
Last modified: 2011-09-15 19:33:58 UTC
Log (after pressing the button): sh: gnome-file-types-properties: not found AFAIK, gnome-file-types-properties was deprecated in new versions of gnome control center. Using gnome-commander 1.2.8.6 from debian squeeze.
yes I can confirm I get this [fabio@Megatron ~]$ gnome-commander Usage: gnome-file-types-properties [ARGUMENT] -h, -?, --help Show this help and exit. DESCRIPTION This script is dependent on zenity for creating its GUI. It is to be used as a tool for choosing the default application or to run for different type of files (mimetypes). It modifies or add files in "$HOME/.local/share/applications" When passed a valid filename it checks its mimetype as interpreted by gnomevfs, it will show a list of already registered applications able to handle the mimetype in question, the user can change default application in this list. The list also contains an option to add the Name and command of a program that is not registered to be able to open files of the mimetype. After any changes this script will run the update-desktop-database to update the users mime cache. When executed without any argument, the script will list all applications associated with a mimetype. When selecting an item from this list, the user will be able to edit the options for the selected application. The edited file will be saved in the above path and the update-desktop-database is executed. When given an invalid argument or any of the options -h -? --help, this text is shown.
