This has been an ongoing problem for me for years. The list presented makes no sense in terms of the order the apps are presented. Also, since there are multiple entries for many apps, why are they not listed together? They are scattered at random throughout the list.
If "the list is sorted using the mimetype associations to list the most likely applications that should be used first, that's not a bug" were true, all the duplicate entries should be listed together, but they are not. For example, Brasero Disk Burning is listed 5 times scattered through the list. Duplicate entries are created every time you open the menu editor and change something. They are found in ~/.local/share/applications so you can weed them out. This is a separate bug. I am mainly concerned with the listed order of apps. Please reopen this. It's not a feature, it's a bug. There should be a choice to list the apps alphabetically. -- "open with" application list has duplicates and is unsorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
