Bug Description
I installed Sublime Text 3 from a third-party source. That installed and worked fine, and it shows up in the Applications menu as normal. When I right click any file (I've tried Makefiles and .txt files), click "Open With", then click "Other Application", there's a list of possible programs I can open the given file from. Problem is, if the program I want to use isn't on that list, I can't use it--i.e. I can't put in an arbitrary command that can be saved and used in the future.
