Basic patch to implement this (500 bytes, patch)

Description Jeff Waugh 2006-06-21 09:35:59 UTC 
The "Open With" dialogue should only show applications that have a file opening variable (%U, %f) in their .desktop Exec line. For instance, I do not want to be given the choice to open a file in Blackjack, Calculator or Character Map, but definitely want the choice to open a file in Text Editor or Movie Player.

Whoops - forgot to mention that this is in fact a libeel bug, and the above patch is to that not nautilus.

Is anyone planning on committing this? Or at least commenting on problems if there are any?
Comment 5 Alexander Larsson 2006-11-23 14:58:50 UTC 
The patch didn't follow nautilus coding convention. I cleaned it up and commited.
thanks.
