When I select a file and: - double-click - hit RET - hit C-o - select "Open with <the-default-application>" in the menu
Nautilus only refreshes the current window, placing the selected file at the top and nothing else (where I expect that it should launch the application, passing to it the selected file name). The only way I found to convince Nautilus to really pass those files to the corresponding application is to select "Open with other application" and then to select the desired (usually the default) application in the dialog box. This is on a Debian stable machine where this operation used to work just fine until very recently (maybe it changed when I installed the 10.1 update? I'm not sure if it's correlated but it's possible). Any idea what might be going on, how to investigate, or how to fix it? Stefan
