Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 12.04 some Programs are not available in the open with dialog
when i klick on a file with the right mouse button. I can manage to put
a program to the list with the total unbeautiful method here:

new empty file with:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=Name der Anwendung
Comment=Tooltip der Anwendung (optional)
Icon=/Pfad/zum/Symbol/symbol.png
Exec=/Pfad/zum/Programm/Dateiname %F

renaming in
programmname.destkop
storing in
~./local/share/applications/

also with Windows programs there is a even more unbeautiful method to
get this done:

emty file with:

#!/bin/bash
DATEI=Z:$1
DATEI=$(echo "$DATEI" |sed -e 's/\//\\/g' )
logger "$DATEI"
wine /home/NAME/Programme/PDFXV/PDFXCview.exe "$DATEI"

and then bind this script as a open with program as the method above.

i would be very pleased if there will be some graphical interface to do
this stuff.
