Details

Description:

Gimmage doesn't appear in the possible helper applications for nautilus graphics and presumably other equivalent application association lists.


Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.2.3-3
* config and/or log files etc.

Running on x86_64 but expect to be the case on both

Steps to reproduce:

1) open nautilus and find a graphics file
2) right click on the graphics file and select properties
3) open the "open with"tab.
4) gimmage doesn't appear in the recommended applications
5) click on the show other applications button
6) gimmage doesn't appear in the other applications list

Steps to resolve:

1) edit /usr/share/applications/gimmage.desktop and change the line

Exec=/usr/bin/gimmage

to

Exec=/usr/bin/gimmage %U

2) You may also need to update /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache to add gimmage to all the relevant graphic file types. However I am unsure of the mechanism for that file's generation/addition of applications.

change tested as working. .
