(Get the code!)
Holy crap, I can't believe I was about to report this bug and have come to find that it's been here since 2005!!! WTF? Seriously, WTF!
When I click on a link to a *.pls file (otherwise known as a "Shoutcast MP3 playlist") It presents the attached screenshot.
Lets say I don't want it to open it with Totem. Instead, I'd like it to play in VLC, (or XMMS for those die hard XMMS fans out there). So I click on the drop down where "Movie Player" is currently shown, and select "Other..." because NOTHING ELSE IS THERE.
Instead of being presented with a nice listing of installed applications, I'm asked to browse my root file structure. I, after 3 years of using this OS, still have little idea as to where I should even look to find VLC or any other app for that matter. New users, I would bet hard cash, HATE THIS. Sorry.
