The right click facility to open a windows exe does not present the wine windows program loader as an option.

I prepared a screen shot for this but was unable to crop it using the GIMP because nautilus doesn't recognize that it is also present (installed yesterday).

Yes, I did a boot. No joy.

I realise this is beta software, but wouldn't it be sensible to get the file system interface up almost before anything else? Installed packages such as this must appear in the application choice listing after they've been installed.

This may turn out to be a problem with the installer (apt), but the symptoms are that nautilus is sick.

Hoping for an early fix, the frozen north signs out.

Forgot to mention that the work around is to run the wine command from the correct directory in the console. Works just fine thank you, but the shortcut would be nice.

One gets into operating habits, and find the facilities missing is rather more than slightly annoying.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug is not related specifically to Wine, it affects all of the "open with" mime bindings in Saucy's Nautilus 3.8

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1238634

I was having a heck of a hard time trying to configure "open with" in Nautilus (and also using Ubuntu Tweak's "file associations" option), Nautilus was behaving totally nuts. It turns out that this is one more 'improvement' in upstream Nautilus. Now it completely ignores .desktop files that contain NoDisplay=true, which is used by all applications that handle mime types but whose icons don't show up on the dash.

Being Saucy in a RC-like status, this bug seems pretty UGLY and I'm surprised not finding any other reports about it.
