Bug#1067673: caja: The Caja Open With... environment menu does not show the Geany text editor (sh and desktop files)

[Imi <mesterimreur@gmail.com>]

    Package: caja
    Version: 1.26.1-1+deb12u1
    Severity: normal
    
    Dear Maintainer,
    
    * The Open With... menu only thinks it is hidden for sh and desktop
    files.
    * The expectation is that if I select Geany in the file properties,
    then
    a) appear in the Open With.. menu (I can select it)
    b) two mouse clicks on the file will also cause Geany to open the
    file: at
    least, the sh scripts.
    * Another weird thing is that if I set two applications for files
    (sh or
    desktop) in the file properties -and this is the default anyway- it
    works
    "foolproof".
    
    If it is set in ~/.config/ in the mimeapps.list file (shortcut),
    
    [Default Applications]
    application/x-desktop=libreoffice-writer.desktop
    application/x-shellscript=libreoffice-writer.desktop
    
    [Added Associations]
    application/x-shellscript=geany.desktop;libreoffice-writer.desktop;
    text/x-shellscript=geany.desktop;
    text/x-desktop=geany.desktop;
    application/x-desktop=libreoffice-writer.desktop;geany.desktop;
    
    what happens is that in the Open With... menu, Open With: Geany
    appears, but if
    I double-click on the file, LibreOffice Writer opens it.
    This is when I select LibreOffice as the default association! When I
    select
    Geany as the default application, LibreOffice appears as the menu to
    open with,
    and when I double-click Geany, the file opens. This is some kind of
    reverse
    operation.
    Now, let's ignore the desktop settings in the example, because on
    that, if I
    double-click, I'm launching the application...
    
    * The Open With... menu only thinks it is hidden for sh and desktop
    files.
    However, it is definitely expected to work here.
    
    * The things I have done:
    
    1) I edited the geany.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ and
    added four
    new settings at the end of MimeTypes=:
    
text/x-shellscript;text/x-desktop;application/x-shellscript;application/x-desktop;
    
    2)
    a) I have checked the contents of the mimeinfo.cache file
    (/usr/share/applications/), and I see that it contains the correct
    settings:
    
    application/x-shellscript=geany.desktop;vim.desktop;
    application/x-desktop=geany.desktop;
    text/x-shellscript=geany.desktop
    
    b) I put this in,
    
    text/x-desktop=geany.desktop;
    
    then I ran it.
    
    sudo update-desktop-database
    
    The contents of the file have been updated.
    
    And I ran it.
    
    sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
    
    3) And I copied the geany.desktop file from /usr/share/applications/
    to
    ~/.local/share/applications/.
    
    None of the solutions helped...
