I know that this question was also asked here, but I have a slightly different problem.

I want to open CSV files using sublime instead of Calc.

However, sublime does not even appear to my applications, when I follow the procedure at mentioned at that answer, in order to select that as default.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition with Unity.

How can I do that?

  • Did you try clicking on the "Show other applications" button that's shown in the dialog? – terdon Jul 03 '14 at 16:52
  • yes @terdon. I have tried that, and it is not shown there. The fact is that I am searching for a way to add sublime at the "other applications" list – Jim Blum Jul 03 '14 at 16:53

OK, the answer was at this post. What should be done is to execute the following command:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop

find the exec line:

Exec=sublime

and add an "%f" next to it

Exec=sublime %f

In any case sublime can be replaced by the program you want to add to the applications list.
