Bug Description

As GC 1.2.8.13 in Xubuntu 11.10 doesn't work with the general MIME type files it usually doesn't open files in an applications on double click. In a lot of cases it assigns the wrong application and despite the change button being shown in the properties one can not change the file association. Pretty bad as one can only see what files are there but they can't be opened.

I also cannot change the file association. The button does nothing when I click on it.

I'm using 1.2.8.8 on RHEL6.

This is a known issue in Gnome Commander. See http://gcmd.github.io/doc.html#mime how to set up MIME type handling files which work with GCMD.
