Description Karl Ostmo 2009-04-28 02:01:07 UTC 
Currently one may add an application to the list in the "Open With" tab of the File Properties dialog by specifying a "custom command".  Such commands might be long/have many arguments.

One might create multiple variations of a given program, such as mplayer, each with different flags (fullscreen, subtitle options, hardware acceleration, etc.).

1) It is not possible to view the originally specified command-line string for these custom entries.
2) One may wish to simply tweak an existing custom command, rather than following a sequence of clicking "Remove", "Add", and recreating the custom command from scratch.

An "Edit" button would be useful for this "Open With" tab of the File Properties dialog.

Agreed; marking as a duplicate of bug 555487, which is pretty much the same.
