Anyway, try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/82652/file-association-to-unlisted-application It basically says that you have to append a trailing "%U" at "/usr/share/ applications/freemind.deskop" file, at the "Exec" stanza, that is: *** Exec=/usr/bin/freemind %U *** Now the application should be listed at the "Open with..." menu so you can now set it as the default for that kind of file types.
Actually it is incomplete - you need to also (or maybe only) edit the setting in ~/.local/share/applications/freemind.desktop
Having done that, I have been able to both find the application and make it the default.
Thanks for the persistance. We got there in the end -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk
