desktop entry is missing %F argument in exec string

[Rörd Hinrichsen]

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04.

Package-version: 9.5.5-1raring1

In the acroread-bin package from the canonical partner repository, the desktop entry file for Adobe Reader 9 (/usr/share/applications/acroread.desktop) is missing the %F argument in the exec string. Because of this, it isn't possible to directly open files through the file manager with this, it's only possible to start the application without directly opening a file.

Expected to happen: Option to open PDF files with Acrobat Reader 9 in "Open With..." menu of a Files context menu, or in the "Open with" tab of a PDF files' properties window.

Actually happened: No such option present.

Suggest fix: add the %F argument to the exec string

Workaround: Copy the file entry into the user's home directory (to /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/acroread.desktop) and add the %F argument to the exec string in that copy
