circle -> places -> bookmark doesn't work

[Tom Vaughan]

Binary package hint: nautilus

i have bookmarks in nautlius that worked just fine under breezy, but not under dapper. if i select circle -> places -> bookmark, then i am told by nautilus that there is no default action associated with this location (see error.png). but if i have a nautilus window open, e.g. Home Folder, and select the bookmark from the the Places column, then the bookmark works. these bookmarks are a link to a smb share (buffalo linkstation), ftp, and davs. all of which exhibit the same behaviour.

this is the nautilus error message described in this problem report.

Thanks for your bug. What do you call "circle"?

[Tom Vaughan (tvaughan)]

"circle" is the ubuntu circle of friends logo on the panel, the main menu button.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Confirmed, note that you can click on the labels on the panel directly, no need to click on the logo :)

i've customized my panels, and only have one panel at the bottom with just a all-in-one main menu button, aka "circle". it's a dell inspiron x1 and i don't have much vertical space to spare. thanks.

In fact that was an another issue on my box due to the ftp server I was trying with. Could you run "gnomevfs-info smb://badonkadonk/tvaughan" and copy that to a comment?

Do you still have that issue with dapper or edgy?

kinda. i can create bookmarks, but what i don't like is that ftp links
now open in firefox, not nautilus.

do you have the same behaviour with "gnome-open ftp:URI"? Did you set some /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp gconf keys for it?

[Tom Vaughan (tvaughan)]

i am now running edgy, and this problem has disappeared. ftp url's work
as i would expect them to, they open in nautilus. thanks.

Marking fixed then, thank you for the update

i've just discovered that if you allow firefox to set itself as the preferred web browser then it sets several of the url-handler gconf keys such as http, https, ftp, gopher, and chrome. this causes ftp bookmarks in nautilus to open in firefox. if you set the preferred web browser back to the default value via gnome preferred applications, the ftp url-handler is left as firefox. i'm not so sure i expect setting my preferred *web browser* to firefox to also set my preferred *ftp client* to firefox... hope this helps.
