Trying to open video with mplayer * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Selecting Open With in menu to choose other player than default one * What was the outcome of this action? Not able to choose the wanted video player * What outcome did you expect instead? To make mplayer the default player I want to submit a suggestion to restore old behavior of nautilus. It is not possible anymore to select a custom binary for execution in Properties->Open With. I know there is alacarte and one could add an entry there -- but I even tried this and had problems with it. Maybe it would be possible to add/merge this function of alacarte with the nautilus Open With dialog or offer there an functionaly to directly open alacarte with the right paramters -- the file type for example. There should be also the chance to select a binary not linked with the currently selected file type/mime type. In addition it also hard to find out the %U paramter for entries in alacarte, one would first have to view another given entry of alacarte because the help of alacarte also is not working right now for with default installation.
