Hi,

I just did a little more testing.  It seems to remember the last used
application for .jpg & .avi, but in an inconsistent way.

If try to open a .jpg, it "opens" with movie player.

If I change it to open with image viewer, it opens OK, but if I close
that window, then select another .jpg,  it "opens" with movie player.

If I try to open a .avi, it fails to open (with an error message), but
has image viewer set as the default.

Regards, Garry.

Title:
  Folders opened by wrong application

Status in Nautilus:
  Expired
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Right clicking on a folder and choosing open with, then selecting
  another application has the "remember this application" box checked by
  default.  If you proceed, that application will be remembered and used
  to open folders in the future, which can cause confusion.

  Changing the default handler for folders either should not be allowed
  at all, or at the very least, the option should not be enabled by
  default.

  To fix it, do the following:

  * Open the Computer from the Places menu
  * open a partition, which does have some folders in it
  * right click on any folder
  * select Open with Other application from the context menu
  * select the File browser as the app to open with
  * make sure the "remember this application for 'folder' files" is checked
  * click OK
