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, because making a file to open with a certain app results in an entry in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and has something to do with inodes. For some it helped to remove the entry there, others open places -> computer to right click on a folder to choose 'open with folder' again. On the other hand users with Jaunty miss the tab now in case to correct misbehaviour. It appears there are two separate scenarios. This command: xdg-mime query default inode/directory results in nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and here: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list is e.g. the entry inode/directory=totem.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus.desktop; If my thoughts go the wrong path please correct me, thanks. Though I asked myself, why I was never affected by this. It occurs I never right click e.g. a music file to open it with a different app. I either double click on the file or I open an app and choose file or directory from within the app. The question is/was how do users open their files and is it rational to have many different choices, regarding the underlying concept. ##Note: I'm not familiar with correlations, rather were looking for a helpful answer for someone else with all the mentioned issues.
