`Open with ...' -> Use command too



Hi,

When opening a (downloaded) file, the Debian user is often (if not
always) asked if he wants to open it, or to save it. Well, actually,
opening it saves it in /tmp/, but that's not a problem.

The problem is that ticking `Open with' only gives you a list of
choices. You can choose `Other' and it directly opens ~/ so that you can
select the binary which can render the related file. The problem is that
it's
* basically easier to write a command, i.e. at the place of `Open with
... Other', it could be interesting to have a box where you can write
e.g. `kile' if you want the file to be opened with `kile', etc.;
* not often possible for the user to select a binary which is not in his
directories.
