Bug Description

Right clicking a file and selecting "Open With" from the context menu shows the applications registered for the respective MIME type. It also shows the entry "Other Application" for selecting another application to open the file with.

When selecting more than one file (having the same MIME type, obviously), still shows the registered applications, but the "Other Application" entry is missing.
