SRU patch ; 02_dont_set_default.patch should not have been applied in lucid

[Doug McMahon]

While the patch was proper for nautilus in 10.10 and 11.04 it's not for 10.04
What's it's doing is now preventing any app from being added to the right click context menu at all.
There never was any issue with nautilus-2.30.0, can be clearly seen from a fresh 10.04.2 install

When a dir. is first opened with something other than nautilus this line is created in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Using vlc as an example
inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;vlc.desktop;

You'll notice that nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; is automatically added to the front of the line, vlc added on. This assures nautilus remains the default and vlc becomes available from the right click context menu
Any additional apps added from the r. click > open with other application will be appended to end of the line, become avail. from the context menu and nautilus remains the default

With the patched/updated nautilus the line is not created, if it did exist prior to the update nothing will be added to it.
The result is no apps will be available directly from the context menu
It would seem this was not properly tested fot 10.04 and the patch should be reverted for 10.04.3

I see 10.04.3 is set to release in 2 weeks, would be too bad to miss the opportunity to set this right

This bug also affects me on ubuntu 11.10

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

This bug only applies to and is valid on lucid as per the description, at this point a bit late in the day anyway

Jotham - 11.10 uses nautilus 3, totally different - if you have an issue with nautilus best to file a new bug against nautilus in 11.10

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
