Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2011-09-21 12:42:54 UTC 
If you select e.g. a few music files and hit Return (or select Open), Nautilus warns that "this will open 1 independent application". I think it should only warn when opening *more than one*: opening only one app is the standard case, just like when you double-click on a single file.

In the current state, you don't really understand what the message means: "So what? I asked it to run an app, what's the problem." This is much clearer when it says it will open several apps.
