Description Mark Finlay 2003-01-28 20:59:20 UTC 
Currently the only way to access the "Open With" menu for the current
folder or file(in a viewer) is to click on one of the "Open With" buttons on 
the side pane.

If the side pane is disabled (see Bug 82107) this makes it necessary to press
the up button and use the context menu of the item. It would be much better
to be able to (for example) use a 'File->Open with' item.

A common example of this is when I am viewing a file in the text viewer
and want to edit the file in gedit. The functionality is avaliable in
the sidebar but it should also be avaliable in one of the menus.
