Re: [gedit-list] Gedit side panel file browser not displaying files

[Adam Dingle <adam medovina org>]

Booze,

what is the extension?  It sounds as if gedit shows files with this extension only when you enable Show Binary, but you'd like to see files with this extension all the time.  If you can tell us what the extension is we may be able to comment or explain.

I'm having trouble with gedit's side panel not displaying files with a specific extension.

I have no problem opening the files in gedit either from nautilus or from the file->open, but when I navigate in the file browser browser to a folder with this extension it shows up as empty. The default "Open with" application for these files are gedit, and when I follow these instructions:

http://superuser.com/questions/194091/why-wont-gedit-file-browser-plugin-show-files

they do show up in the file browser pane along with all other  non-text files that just clutters the side pane.

I tried posting something like this to my OS's support forums but nobody has responded.  For what it's worth I am using gedit 3.4.1.

This shouldn't be that hard to restore the configuration I had before. But of course uninstalling and reinstalling gedit and nautilus via apt-get doesn't help. I wasn't having this problem before, I seemed to have accidently clicked to open a file with this extension from nautilus once using a different program. Ever since then, all these files have been missing from the side pane.
