Comment 0 for bug 964186

The context menu option to open folders with something other than nautilus, while not necessary , is a useful option for many users.

The question would be was that part of the commit needed to affect the handling of 'non-desktop' desktop files such as index.theme

At least here, reverting the view part of the commit suggests it wasn't, an open with context menu option & ability to fully view & open a .theme file from nautilus seem to co-exist fine.

So the purpose of this report is that, did the context menu option need to be removed?
