However, that's the same way GIMPs entry is done. Looking around the file, I found that EoG has a slightly different entry and Mozilla and even more different one.

No idea, but I have found the nautilus code quite readable in the past.

GIO application integration with Nautilus
I've asked the Nautilus dev and Gnome hackers mailing list but they dont really know much on the issue, so here I am. By the way, I'm using Debian and (of course) Gnome. I've written a GTK+ application that uses the GIO API for file IO operations and I added it as the default application to open images, in this case a jpeg. -- http://i42.tinypic.com/2yzeg4i.jpg It works fine with Nautilus when opening files on a local filesystem. -- http://i44.tinypic.com/t9gzye.jpg The problem I've run into is that Nautilus will not allow me to open files on remote filesystems (eg sftp virtually mounted file system) with my application (doesnt appear on the context menu list). -- http://i44.tinypic.com/20gfpzd.jpg When I use "Open With Other Application..." it launches the program but does not pass in any arguments. I have no problems opening files via CLI (eg appname sftp://u...@server.com/dir/image.jpg ). Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is there any documentation on how to add a GIO application to Nautilus for opening remote filesystems?
