GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 94627
activate_callback in fm-directory-view.c logic error
Last modified: 2006-12-26 18:29:54 UTC
when doing a DISPLAY action on a desktop file with type Link, the "uri" variable is e.g. http://www.cnn.com, but the "file" variable is e.g. file:///home/devel/hp/.gnome-desktop/CNN.desktop, and we get the mime type from the "file" variable. So we use the viewer for the desktop file's mime type (text viewer), not the viewer for the web page. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70666 for more details.
Taking the liberty of 2.2.0 milestone, this is really a major issue. (In combination with 94628, results in seeing web pages as raw HTML source code.)
Still seeing web pages as raw source in 2.4.x. Is the rest of the problem still the same too?
And it's still showing urls of type http://www.cnn.com/ as type Word Processor in 2.8.x. Isn't it supposed to suggest the web browser as the handler for these?
a part of the issue is deprecated with the bonobo slay and GNOME 2.10. The current behaviour has still some issue as described by bug #172708, I'm closing this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 172708 ***
Mass reassigning bugs with 2.2.0 milestone to 2.2.x milestone Grep for "Mass reassigning" to filter out this bug spam.
