1.2.8.13 File association "opens with" <change> doesn't work

[Juergen]

As GC 1.2.8.13 in Xubuntu 11.10 doesn't work with the general MIME type files it usually doesn't open files in an applications on double click. In a lot of cases it assigns the wrong application and despite the change button being shown in the properties one can not change the file association. Pretty bad as one can only see what files are there but they can't be opened.

I'm finding this in Linux Mint 13 Mate Maya (64 bit) based on Ubuntu Pangolin.

I also can't change the file association, using v1.2.8.5, Ubuntu 10.04.

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

I also cannot change the file association. The button does nothing when I click on it.

I'm using 1.2.8.8 on RHEL6.

I can confirm the same bug on Xubuntu 14.04.1 + Gnome Commander 1.2.8.17.

This is a known issue in Gnome Commander. See http://gcmd.github.io/doc.html#mime how to set up MIME type handling files which work with GCMD.

This bug can be closed. The program uses GSettings for finding the default programs for different file types. It was fixed in version 1.12.0 and in Ubuntu after the release of 1.14.2-1 (in Jammy Jellyfish).
