 |
|
Hi, all
Since nautilus 3.6, when opening a soft link by mime type, nautilus will pass this link's target to application.
Say I double click a file /path1/a-link.mkv, with a subtitle a-link.srt in same dir.
/path1/a-link.mkv linked to a file named /path2/a-movie.mkv .
Nautilus will pass the link target /path2/a-movie.mkv as argument to mplayer.
Which causes mplayer cannot find the subtitle file.
I want to ask if there is a setting or a patch to make nautilus open the link itself, not the target?
Thanks

OK, solution found, and tested. 
Or you could replace nautilus by nemo file manager.
