Public bug reported:
When you have a type of file, for example a Gimp file, .xcf, I used to be able
to select a custom built Gimp as default to open the file with, by browsing to
the directory I built it in.
The option to select the application through a path is gone.
This is a serious regression, limits the freedom of the user, and makes
it impossible to use custom built applications as default when the user
wants, or even needs it. Ubuntu does not always ship the latest and
greatest version of software, and sometimes these are exactly the ones
that are needed.
The only options that appear are the apps installed by the software
center, or 'search online', which are neither what I need. The option to
select the app from the users custom location is necessary.
I hope this will be fixed very soon.
