Description rom 2008-08-14 11:22:59 UTC
When you right-clic on a file, then "Open with...", you have this menu :
http://images.imagup.com/05/1218717772_openwith.png

There are a lot of entries, and they are not sorted at all.
It's very difficult to find the needed application.

Moreover, once you have entered a command "manually", it adds it to the menu, so if you enter 5 times 'vlc', you have 5 'vlc' in the menu.

Hi - is there a policy decision required to progress this issue, or is it simply 'low priority' ?

Could it at least be marked as 'NEW', please? :)

It works, but it makes the duplicate entries look pretty obvious, but that's another bug. Not at a terminal where I have commit access atm.
