I don't see an "Open" or "Open With" action anywhere in its menus, neither the file actions (compress, activities, send to, etc). It does not, which is something we've criticized before (the menu should be shown by default, turning it into a button should be a conscious decision. The actions not being in the main menu is a HIG violation as well. "Let's do it wrong because others are doing it wrong as well" is not a good argument. >> I don't see how turning the Open button into a split button would "terribly overload the design", either.

If in this scenario you hide the Open button because it has no valid target, then of course there would be no split Open button, either.
