When I try and open a file I downloaded in Chromium, it opens in a text editor. (Geany)
I click on the arrow in the download bar and select "Show in folder".
I'm using Chromium daily stable and ubuntu 11.04 (although this was a problem previously under ubuntu 10.10) with Gnome.
I'm not sure where the breakdown is happening. In Chromium, ubuntu or maybe Geany has taken something hostage. Anyone having a similar problem?
Thanks,

That's pretty weird and annoying. I hope I can help you a bit into the correct direction :-)
Does it happen with any file type? txt? torrent? mp3?
In
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
there is a list of files to be opened by an application. Have a look with more ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and check if you can find something weird here.There is a nifty command mimeopen that allows you to alter what program should open what file (and that updates the file I mentioned before). It will 'guess' what would be the most logical option based on the file you feed it.
Examples:
If it is a problem regarding mimetypes this should solve it.
