"Open with..." does not work with emacs

[Bernhard]

Say I have emacs-snapshot-gtk installed and I summon a text file, then say "Open with..." and then choose emacs-snapshot-gtk, then emacs opens but it does not open the file. I have tried to play around with the launchers (add %U, %F and such) in the main menu but nothing seems to help. I think this is a bug in gnome-do because if I right-click on the same text file in nautilus, then it opens the file just fine.

Adding " %F" to the exec lines of both emacs* .desktop files in /usr/share/applications make it work just fine.

Adding %F to the Exec string in /usr/share/applications/emacs-snapshot-gtk actually can solve this problem. The same trick also works for emacs client (/usr/share/applications/emacsclient-emacs-snapshot.desktop)

Thanks to Peng and GreySim, that finally worked. But I don't quite get it: I tried adding the desktop files in the main menu and that did NOT work. You really have to sudo into the /usr/share/applications/ files. So it really seems to be a bug in the emacs22 package.

Confirming, as per comment #2

Oops, emacs-snapshot, not emacs22
