Comment 15 for bug 425166

Hi all

> I don't believe that this is an issue with mounting partitions. Even if screenshot was made from LiveCD session, this behavior is same also after installation(no dual boot, Jaunty only). I personally have a few simple text files stored on external HDD with NTFS and after installation of Ubuntu they've been copied to Documents folder on ext3 and behave the same way like on picture.

IMO i don't like anyway how linux handes creation of new file through rightclick. They don't even get extension like *.txt or whatever should be default..

Maybe it could be set-up that way, that text file original from Windows (with *.txt extension) will be always displayed instead of ask dialog and openning text files created in linux(no extenstion) would behave the current way. Could handling of mime types solve this? And nautilus preferences could stay unchanged...
