Bug Description
[Impact]
Frequency : always
Severity : User cannot open file in packaged application with default actions like double-click, selection from dash, etc.
Justification for backporting : Restores intended behaviour. Broken behaviour annoying and frustrating, especially since there is no right-click menu in the dash. Lack of extremely basic OS integration with application filetype undermines image of distribution.
[Text Case]
1. Install FreeMind
2. Start the application, create a trivial mind map, and use default save, creating a .mm file
3. Close application, browse to file with nautilus
4. Note that nautilus correctly lists file type as "FreeMind Map"
5. Double click file
Broken Behavior: File opens in Firefox, you see XML
Fixed Behavior: File opens in FreeMind, you see a mind map
[Regression Potential]
Low risk change. No perceived potential for regression.
---- Original bug text below
After installing FreeMind, the mm file type is successfully detected as "FreeMind Map" and listed as such in Nautilus.
However, the application association appears to have gone. While FreeMind is present as an option in the "Open With" context menu, FreeMind is not the default application, and cannot be set as the default application via the GUI as it no longer appears in the list of applications for "Open With" dialogs.
