[ubuntu-za] Nautilus "open with"

[Bill Cairns]

How does this assignment of application to files work? At one stage I
did an "Open with" Calibre of a .pdf file and (I presume" left the
"Always use..." box ticked. . Since then, every time I click on a .pdf
file Calibre grabs it - this despite my trying to reassign them to the
document viewer. I have a similar problem with bash script files - it
has decided that AbiWord is the correct application to open them when
I click on them and select "Open with". Gedit - my preferred
application does not even appear as an option despite my going to "Use
other application" and selecting it.

I am not sure when these problems started, but they have been going on
for some time. I have been running 10.04 since it was released and the
problem was certainly not there from the beginning. It has really
become a nuisance since calibre started grabbing all the .pdf fines -
my Calibre library is beginning to have lots of strange "eBooks" in it
that I am not likely to ever load onto my reader!
