Bug Description

very simply : I can't get the "open with" in ubuntu to show the "avidemux-gtk" that is present for .avi files.

Took me like one or more hour, I give up and consider this as a conception bug from either ubuntu or avidemux. Avidemux should be able to asociate itself with file types, and ubuntu should keep the old "add custom command" in the properties of a file, "open with" options, so I could add simply the avidemux to it.
