Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
In Nautilus "Open with Other Application" has a "Remember this application for $FILETYPE files" feature which is enabled by default and also does not work.
Expecting:
1) Not on by default, as this may be used for one-off, opening a file in another program.
2) If it's checked, it should remember the program selected
WORKAROUND:
- right click the file in question
- select PROPERTIES all the way down in the popup menu
- go to "open with" tab
- select an application that should be used by default
- profit every time you double click
