When I install brackets-electron from .deb package and I right click on some file, selecting Open With > Other Application... I can't see brackets-electron listed there. How to fix this?

Is the name wrong? I don't fully understand the issue here. 😎

Oh, I see. It's entirely missing from that list. It has to be registered for the mimetypes it can handle

Looks like we have another issue where the fix will need to come from electron-builder.

It seems like you need to add a %f to the Exec= line of the .desktop file. Since that file is being auto-generated in Electron-builder, it seems like we would need to submit an issue there (and maybe a PR if we want to make sure it's done).

Note that this still only puts it on the "Other Application..." list. You need to open a file with the app before it shows on the initial "Open With >" list.
