Title:
  mkvmerge-gui has incomplete desktop file

Status in “mkvtoolnix” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As of Nautilus 3.6, desktop files' EXEC field require field codes %U,
  for URL, or %F, for file, or the desktop file doesn't associate the
  app to its mimetypes.

  mkvtoolnix-gui and mkvinfo desktop files do not contain the field
  codes at this point. Therefore, in Nautilus 3.6, when a user right-
  clicks on a matroska file, those apps are not in the "Open with" list.
  This issue only occurs in Nautilus 3.6 and beyond. Prior versions do
  not parse the desktop file so carefully.

  Thus, the "Open with" menu for Matroska files doesn't include the app
  that creates and edits Matroska files.

  This problem manifests in Quantal with the Gnome 3 ppa, and in Raring.

  I have created patches and debdiffs for Quantal and Raring. I will be
  submitting the patch to Bunkus.org as well.

  Desktop specification: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-
  spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables

  The fix for this is to apply the patch, and then run
  # update-desktop-database

  Open with now contains mkvmerge and mkvinfo as expected. I have
  already tested this and confirmed this works. Information was supplied
  by Cosimo Cecchi.
