Open With Gvim not working, all other programs fine

Asked by Scott Albertine

The 0.5 Open With plugin is great, and it works flawlessly with one exception: GVim. I use GVim a lot to quickly edit text files, so this is unfortunately the most frequent use of that plugin. The plugin accepts GVim fine as a modifier, and opens it like usual, but does not bring the file up for editing. I have to manually open the file from within Vim, which is a tad redundant, and negates the value of the plugin. Anybody have any ideas why it's broken with GVim only (Gedit, firefox, VLC, all work), and what I could do to Gnome-Do or to GVim to fix it? Recompiling with changes is an option, but I'd need to know what to change, my C# experience isn't exactly extensive.

Thanks a ton!

Changed /home/scott/.local/share/applications/GVim to have gvim -f %U as the command executed, rather than just gvim. Works like a charm, hope this helps someone else.
