[Bug 799585] Re: cannot change "open with" option to non-standard program

[Bug 799585] Re: cannot change "open with" option to non-standard program
Hi, I have the same behaviour on a freshly installed Oneiric with .tc files for TreueCrypt.

I am suffering the same problem, except that I am not under Oneiric, but under Ubuntu Natty. I need to add PDF Studio (non standard Java app -PDF Studio-) but there is no physical way to add it into the menu.
