it looks to me as if the handlers are working. Except the "choose an action" dialogue isnt appearing. If i plug the memory card in it opens the drive, if i put a CD in nothing happens at all

yes, even if the handlers are on why doesnt the dialog appear?

i've rebuilt the handlers by setting them to pick a specific application applying it and then changing it back to "ask me" and applying that.

this seems to have worked

Ive noticed now that if the memory card has a picture on it then it pops up the "Chose and action" dialog, if there is no picture there then it doesnt do anything

If the CD is blank or has only photos on it then the "chose and action" dialog appears but if the CD has mixed files on it then nothing happens

the common point is that all the types that arent working dont have a list of applications to choose from so therefore will not pop up a list,. Surely open folders to view files should be an option for every type of media except for blank???
