Description Mildred 2011-08-27 13:40:17 UTC 
With Gnome 3, it is no longer possible to open files wyth any binary. For example, I have a tcl file that is not executable and is read only. I'd like to open it with /usr/bin/tclsh. I can't, it doesn't appear on the list.

The "open with" list is very restrictive, and it's not possible to add any program like in GNOME 2.
