The workaround that I found is using the nautilus-actions package. It
makes it possible to define actions to take for files that match a
specific criteria (even folders). When a file is right clicked, if it
matches a predefined criteria, the specified action will appear under a
menu called "Naut
In search for a solution, I ended up here. Sort of sad to see that the
decision seems finalized in not including the feature.
I wish Nautilus could have this feature as an option in the properties.

I'm not a nautilus developer, however I reopened the bug because I think it has
been closed in error. If I've reopened it in error, I think the developers
will close it again. Here's the link to the comment I wrote while re-opening:

Apologies if this is a different bug altogether.
I agree there is a perfectly good use case for retaining the ability to open

I absolutely agree with Sam. It may be a serious problem for (new)

We have at least 15 threads calling for help in the german speaking

Hi, just a follow up, to sort out and avoid misconceptions.
I came along finding users having the problem that places menu open with a
specific application, e.g. Totem, VLC, which wasn't expected, (especially after
a dist-upgrade).
Hence I think, this might be one reason for removing this tab,
correct - changing the default doesn't make sense, but having the tab
does: nautilus lets you add entries in the "open with" context menu but
offers no way to remove them. That is what I described in gnome
bugzilla's bug.
Thanks

If it didn't make sense, then why does nautilus offer "Open With" with
folders? I still can (and do) open folders with audacious, banshee or
showfoto.
Something is wrong with the assumption that it didn't make sense.
I opened a bug with gnome bugzilla:

Thank you for your bug report, the tab has been removed on purpose
because it's not possible to change the default associations for
