[Bug 28621] Re: cannot associate file type with open command

[Conrad Knauer]

I'm using Dapper x86 from the repos; I originally posted this on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=165711

In Breezy I had associated folders with XMMS so that I could go to a folder with music files, right-click it and open it with XMMS. Very convenient. After I upgraded to Dapper, it stopped working. So I tried to reassociate it by right-clicking on a directory, selecting properties and adding it in the "Open With" tab (the two entries already existing are "Konqeror" (I have a bunch of KDE stuff installed) and "Open Folder"). It didn't add, nor did it give an error. So I decided to try with sudo nautilus. It still didn't add, but it did give an error: "Could not add application to the application database"

Based on some of the previous comments on this bug I checked ~/.local/share/applications and there were lots of XMMS icons from me having tried this :)
