There's no association for ASC public GPG files

[Duncan Lithgow]

Ubuntu 8.04
Seahorse 2.22.2
Nautilus 2.22.3

What happens:
* Open Seahorse with 'Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys'
* Select your personal key and right click, select 'Export Public Key...' and save the file to the desktop
* Double click the file on the file
   * Nautilus doesn't know what to do with the file (gedit will open it if you've opened it once)
   * Nautilus offer the context option to open with 'Decrypt File' (which of course doesn't work)

What I expect to happen:
Either
   * Seahorse should offer to add the public key to my keyring
or
   * gedit should open the file

The file has under 'Properties > Basic' this information:
Type: PGP/MIME-encrypted message header
MIME type: application/pgp-encrypted

Updated 2011-04-28
Ubuntu 10.10
Seahorse 2.32.0-0ubuntu1
Nautilus 2.32.0

Seahorse has now moved to 'System > Preferences > Password and Encryption Keys'

duncan, it does import the key on my system (intrepid)
seahorse: 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
nautilus: 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu1

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

under properties|basic i see:
type: PGP keys (application/pgp-keys)

and it opens with "import key"

Works for me as well in Intrepid.

I decided to reopen this bug, since it has reappeared in Karmic Koala. The file association is missing again. Opening .asc files runs Gedit, not Seahorse.

Also, in the newest version of Gedit there is no GPG-plugin anymore, so the situation is much worse than in older Ubuntu versions.

@otto: You should really have put it back to 'Incomplete' so someone _else_ could check if the bug exists. But that's what I've just done so this reappearing is confirmed.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for sending the bug to GNOME

This is still a bug in 11.10.
