xdg-open doesn't open nautilus repeatedly

HI All,
Whenever I run "xdg-open ." from a shell, nothing happens. However, if I run it again shortly afterwards Nautilus opens up with the current directory.

It seems that xdg-open only works if an existing Nautilus process is running. Could you guys please confirm this as well?

Thanks,
Saad

Re: xdg-open doesn't open nautilus repeatedly

This was introduced long ago when GNOME 3.14 appeared. Here is one thread about it at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190252.

Only recently, somebody got around to raising a bug, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45167.

I have just lived with it assuming it was an upstream GNOME bug which would eventually get fixed.
