*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 35997 ***

The original bug is fixed. Now the case is as follows: 

If you right-click a dir in nautilus, the default is "Open"
2nd option is "Open in new window". Both are handled by nautilus. Good.

Beneath the 1st seperator are the alternative handlers, with as last entry "Open with other application". The 'problem' is that the other entry '''open with "Open folder"''' is a xfce-friendly name, because xfce users don't want to know the name of their file manager. It *is*, however, supposed to list a Thunar entry, which is does.

In the Gnome environment, however, this is confusing. It is not clear that this is an *alternative* filemanager. So, strictly speaking, this is not an error/bug, but a usability issue, because the naming of the alternative directory handler is confusing. 

Closing again. Feel free to open a new bug, feel free to use my description if you like. This bug-entry became too confusing to address the new issue, and it is unrelated as far as I can see. 

** Changed in: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
