Title: Regression - Can't "Open with" on Folders Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on a folder in Nautilus, and its context-menu provided an "Open With" option that was especially convenient for queuing up a folder of media file into a variety of media players (like VLC for example). In Ubuntu 13.04, this option is missing and therefore requires additional steps to achieve the same result: (1) Launch media player (2) Position Player beside Nautilus (3) Drag and drop folder into media player. This regression has removed a previously handy feature. It was a lot easier to just right-click the folder and "open with" the media player of my choosing. That "Open With" menu item would also remember every application I've ever opened a folder with, and it would list those previously-used-applications for an even quicker selection process. We need to bring this back!
