Description ThomasT 2010-02-25 15:56:50 UTC 
I tried associate an application with a file type by choosing an app that is listed in the apps browser under "Open With" -> "Add".
However, this failed due to the fact that the app's executable has spaces in its name.
Anything else works for this app, i.e. it is listed fine in the menu bar launcher and runs fine from there.
It's only this association that fails with the spaces.
