@Sebastien The decision taken by upstream is somewhat permanent and goes by somewhat their so called HIG. What is the point of filing another bug upstream when we already know the answer?
I don't understand these weird decision taken taken by Ubuntu in recent time. Nautilus 3.14 was working wonderfully well. But yet Ubuntu decided to upgrade. Now everything is left half-baked. No global menu, several context menu action missing, nautilus crashes every time when it is copying large .git etc...list goes on on and on. About this bug I can provide a patch for nautilus and gtkappchooser to bring back old menu. But will Ubuntu accept it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647217 Title: Nautilus “Open with …” context menu gone on upgrade to yakkety Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Release: 16.10 Package: nautilus, 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3.1 Expected behaviour: 1. Open Files 2. Right-click on icon, move to "Open with …", and pick suitable app from an immediate list 3. File opens in selected application. This was standard behaviour on 16.04, and is expected behaviour from Windows and Mac OS. Actual behaviour: 1. Open Files 2. Right-click on icon, note lack of "Open with …" option, and select "Open With Other Application" 3. "Select Application" window opens instead of immediate list. Window contains long list 4. Scroll down list until application appears, select it, and file opens in selected application. This is a usability regression. No explanation is given why this is gone, or how to recover the (expected, standard, rational) previous behaviour.
