Details

Description:
Using Arch-XFCE 4.8. I do a file find and get results, I want to open the "contining folder" yet the finder (XFCE?) opens GEdit to see the text.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Select menu-accessories-search for files
Enter a search string
Right-click an item
Select "open containting folder"
GEdit opens

Maybe not so much a bug but more an "oops"??

Thanks

Thor

You're talking about thunar?
Comment by Thor (thorflanders) - Thursday, 16 February 2012, 09:59 GMT
No, not Thunar. It's the finder, the GUI front end. I dont think it's related/integrated to Thunar.
I reproduced it, selecting "open contining folder" opens the system-known editor for the file.
I just tried it with java files, right-clicking on the file/entry in the list and selecting "open containting folder" opens (for me) Bluefish...so, the choice of app that comes up is related to the type of file selected in the finder.

It really does'nt bug me that much, but what if the title read something like "open with [application]" - but that's already there, as the first entry in the pop up menu...

Maybe it's an XFCE "trait"???

I don't know which application FileFinder is; please provide a screen shot of it.

Gladly...

The "filefinder" can be found (XFCE) Applications-Accessories-Search for files...

Thanks for going after this...

I was able to reproduce the issue while in Xfce (doesn't happen in GNOME).

Reported upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671317
