[Bug 702338] Re: 'Open with other Application' should not remember setting by default

 

Just to be clear the checkbox is gone and when open with other
application does not set the application to default it just adds it to
the open with list of applications.

Title:
  'Open with other Application' should not remember setting by default

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Fix Released
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  in Nautilus, when choosing 'Open with Other Application' in the right-
  click menu, the tick-box "Remember this application for '<type>'
  files" is ticked by default. This is unwanted behaviour, as often a
  user will just try the application out, not set it by default.

  At the very least, the tick-box should not be set for folders, as it
  is now, as folders will suddenly not be opened in Nautilus anymore in
  many menus (such as 'Home' in the gnome places menu). You might want
  to open folders with a different application sometimes, but the
  default should be with the filebrowser, and it should not be the
  default to change this behaviour when opening with a different program
  the first time.
