Totem does not load files into playlist correctly

[Vassilis Pandis]

Binary package hint: totem

If totem's playlist already contains one or more mp3s and you select a bunch of them through nautilus and hit enter (with totem being the default media player of course) then what happens is that they get sequentially loaded and only the last one remains in the playlist. This is with totem 2.17.92-0ubuntu1

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416253

I created a (very simple) patch to fix this issue and attached it to the upstream bug. Please consider including this patch for Feisty. This bug is a regression, as the behaviour works perfectly in Edgy and lesser releases. Plus it's a very tiny patch, and it's extremely easy to see that it won't break other things (note that default_action is a local variable that is never used except the single place I modified.)

I'll attach the patch here, too.

Thanks.
