Confirmed on Hardy, but there is also a way to reverse it. Details: On a fresh install the .xcf files are associated with Gimp. If you right-click on a .xcf file in nautilus you are offered the option of opening the file with Gimp or 'Other application'. If you select Other and then eog, eog will try and fail to load it. Any time you then click on a .xcf file nautilus will try to launch eog and fail. "image viewer" (eog) is now the top choice in the context menu and the default. There is no obvious way to change the default back.
To change the default back to Gimp, go to properties for the file and select the 'Open with' tab. I'll close this bug, since it does take a few odd steps to get into this position and since there is a GUI way to reverse it. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Invalid -- app opened thru "Open With" becomes default for filetype https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
