Description Roberto Piscitello 2006-07-26 10:54:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The "Open with..." window lists every program which has a .desktop file, even if it doesn't have the capability to open files.
I think it would be saner to only list programs which have a .desktop file with a %U or %F in the Exec line.

This, for example, would save gedit ("Exec=gedit %U"), but not Iagno ("Exec=/usr/games/iagno").

I'm running Debian Etch and nautilus 2.14.1-5.


Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?
