It shouldn't be removed and the menu entry should be put back. Many resolution issues have been solved in Hardy with this tool. Also, devs recommended this tool when people complained that "dpkg-reconfigure" didn't let them change driver and resolution settings in Hardy. Nathan -- Screens an

Just done some testing today and come up with a working per-user method, which I recommend now rather than my previous efforts. Sorry about the confusion, the tests could have been better, After following these instructions, you will have two alternate entries in your context menu "Open with" list

Kivech, VLC wouldn't autoplay with the current launch command even if it was added to the list, so we just need to wait for a return of the ability to launch by command string. Please ignore the workaround I posted above, as the per-user method is a little bit tricky compared with the follow

Possible workaround: I've modified my instructions for Hardy users by taking some advice given on Launchpad. I'm not gonna add it to my how-to until I know how well it works. Tell me if this works for you: Copy and paste this into the Terminal: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop ~/

Sebastien, Thanks for the clarification. I would love to help add the feature, but I have no experience in writing code (only left Windows behind a year ago). I can see this kind of feature will be added at some point and I respect the fact that the devs have much work to do. I also respect the fa

I can tell from what I've read that this isn't a Nautilus bug as such, but why not have the ability to choose an application manually? Or use a special command? I want to be able to use this command for playing DVDs in Hardy: vlc --vout-filter deinterlace --deinterlace-mode blend --volume 512 --f
