Public bug reported: I cannot associate .a26 files (executables for Atari 2600 Video Computer System) with Stella (Atari 2600 emulator).
steps to reproduce: 1. in a terminal, sudo apt-get install stella 2. Download FlapPing, a homebrew game for 2600: visit http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2705 and click the pie chart icon next to "Download ROM" 3. open the archive 4. drag FlapPing.bin out of the archive 5. rename FlapPing.bin to FlapPing.a26 6. right-click and choose Open With Other Application... 7. click Show other applications 8. click Find applications Online expected: Stella appears in the list after step 7, or I can enter a custom command after step 7, or I can click a button to browse the file system after step 7, or Stella appears in the list after step 8. actual: Stella does not appear in either list, and I cannot enter a custom command, and there is no button to browse the file system. Either this is a problem with Stella not appearing in menus, or it is a problem with Nautilus not allowing associating file types with applications that do not appear in the menus. Versions of Ubuntu prior to 11.10 had either a custom command or browse button (I forget which).
