local-item: Get proper default app name (941 bytes, patch)

Description Jim Hall 2014-02-23 21:07:51 UTC 
Using Photos 3.10 on Fedora 20 (gnome-photos-3.10.2-1.fc20.x86_64)

When I click into a photo or image to view it in Photos, then use the gear menu to open the image with another program (in this case, GIMP : "Open with GNU Image Manipulation Program") the image actually opens using Shotwell.

Does the problem also happen in Files/Nautilus when right-clicking an image file?

local-item: Get proper default app name

Photos try to find default application which need support URI to set the button label:
In line 88 of src/photos-local-item.c
default_app = g_app_info_get_default_for_type (mime_type, TRUE);
if TRUE, the GAppInfo is expected to support URIs.

shotwell don't support URI but gimp do, so gimp is selected even if shotwell is     the default app. I think it's safe to open local photos no matter whether default photo app support URI or not.
