Bug#710661: nautilus: Right-click --> "open with other application ..." way to specify default-application

[Derek Freder]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.4.2-1+build1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I am still searching for a way to define the default-application which should
be used for a specific MIME-type.
>From www I know that there should be some config-file which can be used to
specify a application per MIME-type. But for Debian7 it seems like this file is
not available.

Apart from that I opened this issue, because I think there should be a
graphical way to specify the default-appliaction in order to increase user-
friendliness. I think a good place for this graphical-option would be the menu
which is opened by Right-click --> "open with other application ...".

Or maybe in the most recent version of nautilus this is already foreseen?
