Alex Moldovan (alexmoldovan) wrote : Files opened from the dash don't open with the default application

Steps to reproduce:
Go to System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications and change the default Music and Video application from the default to your liking. In my case I have Totem (Movie Player) for Music and the VLC media player for Video. Search for a audio file or video file using the dash and then open it directly from there. The mp3 file opened with Banshee instead of Totem and the film opened in Totem instead of VLC. The expected behavior is that they should be opened by the application that I have selected in System Info -> Default Applications. (see attached screenshots)
