Package: meld Version: 0.9.4.1+20050125-1 Severity: normal With meld installed, gnome-open /some/directory opens /some/directory in meld, instead of with nautilus. If I remove the MimeType entry in /usr/share/applications/meld.desktop, and run update-desktop-database, then things go back to normal.
I think the MimeType entry (and subsequent association of meld with x-directory/normal) is a remnant of the old Gnome MIME system. Nautilus in Gnome 2.8 is (annoyingy) hardcoded to open directories itelf, so it's easy to see how Meld taking over x-directory/normal wouldn't be noticed by many people. It looks like this bug cropped up with Rhythmbox (#273917). From reading that it looks like either nautilus.desktop should add a MimeType for x-directory/normal, or every other program should not attempt to associate with that MIME type. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages meld depends on: ii python 2.3.4-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade2 2.4.1-2 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.6.1-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 2.4.1-2 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
