Right click on captured image "open with" menu not working in Ubuntu 14.04

[Don Myers]

I've been running Ubuntu for 5 years, and using shutter for most of that time. I have used each released version starting with 8.10. In all versions 13.10 and prior when an image was captured with Shutter, I could right click on the image, a menu selection would give me an open with option, and I could open the selected image in Gimp. I have three computers with 14.04 installed. Two were clean installs, one was an upgrade from 13.10. On the upgrade machine, things work as always. I can capture the image, right click on it, and open it with Gimp. On the two 14.04 clean install machines, the "open with" menu is grayed out, and not functional.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I got the same here, right click on image in shutter and "open with" is greyed out.

Using fresh install of shutter 0.90.1 on Sabayon (14.02, I think, but few updates since, none since installing shutter) and kde 4.13.2.

Tried the info found in the faq #2 (uupdate-desktop-database), though this question isn't quite the problem (no apps showing under "open with"), and no surprise, didn't work.

Either it's a different bug, or, more likely, not an ubuntu one but a shutter one.
