Still happens in Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10 alpha 5) using:
rhythmbox 0.11.2-0ubuntu2
nautilus 1:2.19.91-0ubuntu1
To reproduce the bug: in Nautilus go to a directory with an .ogg file,
double click on it, and an error message pops up [screenshot 1] saying:
"(name of song) cannot be opened"
No application suitable for automatic installation
is available for handling this kind of file.
It seems Nautilus doesn't know about the file association between .ogg
files and Rhythmbox, even when it is set in System -> Preferences ->
Preferred applications [screenshot 2].
To try it in another way: right-click same file in Nautilus, the context
menu has as first entry "Open" (without saying which app to open with),
and next entry says "Open with Rhythmbox" [screenshot 3]. Selecting this
second option opens up Rhythmbox, but the song doesn't play [screenshot
4].
The only way to listen the .ogg file is (inside Rhythmbox) going to
Music -> Import file... and importing the song [screenshot 5].
Very frustrating, hearing a song should not require this amount of work.
Ps: All screenshots, with comments, are combined in attached image.
