I don't know about "Open With" (or "Open As") for the Dash, but I've mentioned here or in a bug report that there's no indication of how something will "open". On one Windows PC at work, I have scripts which run by default instead of opening in a text editor. I'm not even sure that works in Nautilus on my own computer, and so far the Dash only opens for editing. . . . Oh, I see. Nautilus prompts me. Sigh. I would add Click+Hold for menu activation. Tap+Hold would require a different menu style because of the tapping finger blocking the screen. I suggest shamelessly stealing from iOS; it's what Jobs would have done. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
