File search doesn't open .cs files

The same happens with .cpp files.

I can confirm this, the behaviour is specific to gnome-search-tool (so assigning the gnome-utils package).

The bug occurs in open_file_with_application() function from gsearchtool-support.c due to gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_application (mime) always returning NULL.

Thank you for your bug report, this bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531193

I confirm that bug already exist in Ubutu Hardy 8.04: both *.cpp and *.cs can't open file with double click. Has someone from ubuntu developers could "push" it to gnome developers? Beacuse it still unconfirmed in gnome bugzilla. So gnome developers don't know that the problem even exist.

1) 8.04, Hardy Heron
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

2) WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-search-tool", "gnome-search-tool"
2.20.0.1-1ubuntu5 (Is there an easy way to copy info from Synaptic?)

4) I noticed that when I did a search from my email files, that if I try to double-click result files to open them I can't. Error message pop-ups, that says something like "Opening of document XXX did not succeed.
No program found that could show the document." (I have partly translated version, so I don't know the original message.)

3) But even if I try exactly the same file from file browser, it asks what I wan't to do with that .eml file, and I can select to open it in text editor. But that's even more wird, that some files (less than one of a tenth) are opened directly into text editor, even from the search window. They also have different icon, even the same extension.

Also, report bug link (ghelp:gnome-feedback) in search help did not work, only error message pops-up, "malformed URI, no page can be loaded".

Closing the bug, as it is fixed in both Jaunty and upstream.

When was this fixed?

It is still present in a vanilla Jaunty, running Gnome 2.26.1.

Could not open document "template.php".
There is no installed viewer capable of displaying the document.

And then all I have is an "Ok" button. How come it can't detect that it should be opened in gedit?

I looked at the bug filed with Gnome and found out this information:

"gnome-vfs is being replaced with gio. This should be fixed with the patch"

"Patch applied on 3/16/09 to version 2.27.1."

says developer Dennis Cranston.

I'm just wondering if it is policy to constantly upgrade Ubuntu to fix problems such as this one or if it's policy to fix the problems in the current or targeted release that this bug is filed under.

I asked because this bug effects all versions of Ubuntu, from 4.10 to 9.04, but is fixed in 9.10 (which hasn't been and will not be released until October 2009) only. Currently 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 are supported (as 6.06's desktop support was just dropped), meaning this fix has been released in future versions of Ubuntu, but not past or present.

Just wondering what the mandate is on that. If my tone sounds harsh, I apologize profusely; I just wanted to know Ubuntu's policy, a possibly a link to it.
