GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 780355
"Open With" misses an entry for files being extracted with autoar
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:50:11 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. have any archive file supported by autoar, e.g. a .zip file 2. in nautilus, make sure the preference "Extract the files on open" is enabled in "Behavior" tab (/org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/automatic-decompression=true) 3. select the archive file 4. open file properties, tab "Open With" What happens: autoar is not listed, not even a hint to it What should happen: users would expect the default file handler to be listed here. Affected version: This user experience issue was introduced in the 3.22 series. Additional info: This bug was originally reported as part of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779795#c11.
This is a bug in gtk. Nautilus calls gtk_app_chooser_dialog_new_for_content_type to create the dialog to show the list of apps.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
