Hi,

This may be a new bug, or just a nuisance...

I was a subscriber to the original bug; the workaround was OK.

I upgraded to 11.04, earlier this year.

Recently, something seems to have changed:

when I click on a photo (.jpg), I expect it to open with image viewer, as it has "always" done (I have been using Ubuntu since 2005).

However, it now opens with movie player, showing a blank window, as the file is not a movie.

I did have some short .avi videos mixed in with the set of photos, so I suspect that one of these has triggered the open-with movie player.

However, now that there is no way to change the default application, I seem to be stuck with having to individually use the open-with feature whenever I want to look at photos.

Any suggestions?

Regards, Garry.
