I've downloaded the latest Cura AppImage (slicing software for 3D printing) and I'm running the optional AppImageD. This AppImageD deamon should automatically "install" Cura. It for example adds it to the Applications menu.
Cura however isn't added to the "Open with" dialogs, even when viewing all applications. Even though it's .desktop file contains the following MimeTypes:
- application/sla
- application/vnd.ms-3mfdocument
- application/prs.wavefront-obj
- image/bmp
- image/gif
- image/jpeg
- image/png
I'm not sure what is causing this, whether it's Cura's AppImage, AppImageD or elementary OS.
