I played around modifying another filemanager (thunar), to see which parameters are given, when "Open Containing Folder" is clicked:
It only gets "/home/rrae/Downloads" as a parameter. I think that's insuficcient. Whether or not file managers handle something like... "/home/rrae/Downloads/somefile.tar.bz2" ... in a way as it is in Explorer is out of scope for this bug report, imho Firefox should do a first step in this direction. -- 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/129219 Title: firefox download manager - Open containing folder with preselected file in nautilus/file manager Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox After a right click on a downloaded file in the download manager, when you choose "Open containing folder" it just open the file manager Nautilus in the folder of the file.
