Idea #26415: Folder Open Permissions

Written by lhb1142 the 9 Nov 10 at 18:53. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Behavior of files ('Open With') can be added or deleted but, with those of folders, a selection in the 'open with' option can only be added to, not removed.

Solution #1: Add an 'Open With' Tab in Folders' Properties
Written by lhb1142 the 9 Nov 10 at 18:53.
Files' properties have an 'Open With' tab by which one can add or remove programs used to open the file.

I believe that Folders should have the same 'Open With' tab in their Properties (accessed by right-clicking a file/folder) which they now lack.

In other words, there should be some easy way to remove an 'open with' program which may have been added by default or which you may have entered inadvertently.

One can make this adjustment with individual files; in my opinion, the same option should be available with folders.

is it so necessary for folders?

Yes. If it weren't, I wouldn't have proposed this idea.
