Well, I just have tested with the latest stable upstream (3.6.12) and although the default application cannot still be changed, when the user adds another helper app and selects it ("open with → another app") this setting remains for the next sessions and so "virtually" changing the default app.
I think this bug can be marked as "resolved, worksforme" as per comment #7. For users (like in comment 8) experiencing additional problems with download manager and the associated helper app I think another bug report should be open to avoid messing up both things. -- Default file handlers can't be normally changed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231821 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
