Bug#273917: nautilus should register itself as a handler for directories.

[Michael P]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental

The "gnome-open" command is used to open a file with the application
GNOME has registered for it.  Nautilus, however, is not registered as
handling directories, so when I do:
  $ gnome-open ~
rhythmbox opens up.  I assume this is because rhythmbox has
"x-directory/normal" listed in the MimeType line of its .desktop file.

I think perhaps there should be a line in nautilus.desktop that says:
  MimeType=x-directory/normal

Maybe I'm wrong and that wouldn't fix the problem, but hopefully you
know what would!

Thanks!
