Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

i'm running unity 3.6.
I cannot open subtitles with totem from the unity launcher.
In regular Gnome 2, I open a video with totem, then i open the "Downloads" file, and I drag and drop the subtitles file (.srt) on the video player.

To reproduce this bug :
1) Start playing a video in totem
2) open the "Downloads" place
3) Drag the subtitles file on the launcher : only gedit can open the file

The expected behavior would be for unity to let Totem open the file as subtitles.

Totem needs to register itself as a handler for this type of file, and then unity will offer to open it in totem.
