Comment 8 for bug 1026254

From the upstream commit: "The only thing that handles this by default is nautilus."

While the patch works, I don't think it works well enough with the Nautilus design. Right-clicking a folder shows four different Open buttons instead of two (screenshot attached). #1 and #3 do the same thing. #4 is useless if you don't have an alternate file browser installed (which the vast majority of users do not).

Maybe a better place for this option would be:
1. Right-click on a file and select Properties.
2. Switch to the Open With tab.
3. Repeat by right-clicking on a folder instead. There is no "Open With" tab.

However it's not clear whether it's Nautilus' responsibility to make it easy for users to switch to a third-party file browser by default. Why can't the alternative file browser handle this, similar to how web browsers offer to set themselves as default?
