Bug Description

At the moment, vCards are opened in gedit, like a text file. Instead, double clicking a vCard should open Dexter and import.

adding the line "MimeType=text/directory;text/x-vcard;" to the .desktop file should work.

Should perhaps Dexter *show* the vCard, rather than importing it directly? It might be unexpected that opening a file immediately imports it. Compared to opening a text file or a font file. If you receive the file via email, you may not know if you want it.

Well at the moment Dexter only shows what it already contains. I don't see this as a bad thing. If you don't want it, it's very easy to delete.

Having MimeType=text/x-vcard; in the .desktop file should do the trick. Then Dexter only needs to import files passed as command line arguments.
