Ubuntu: Always open images with XnViewMP

[Redsandro]

I have very very very often a struggle to get XnView to be the default picture viewer. I have asked questions on AskUbuntu, but they get closed.

For a while, it went good. But now on my new laptop (Mint 14 Cinnamon AKA Ubuntu 12.10), I cannot choose open pictures with XnView by default, again.

Look, here is XnViewMP, I can choose it no problem:

XnViewOpenWith01.png (184.14 KiB) Viewed 1059 times

But it opens just once, it does not replace the default. So I go to properties, the Open With tab. No Xnview under defaults or recommended:

XnViewOpenWith02.png (59.11 KiB) Viewed 1059 times

No XnView under All Applications either:

XnViewOpenWith03.png (54.7 KiB) Viewed 1059 times

Maybe there is a trick that I am not getting. But it's a fact that nothing from a repository has ever been a problem. On my desktop I don't even dare upgrading to 0.51 because I finally got to get 0.50 open by default, and I don't remember what finally did it.

Any advice?

Bonjour
J'ai exactement le même problème sous Fedora 17 et Fedora 18 : XnView n'apparaît pas dans les applications disponibles. Dans l'interface Gnome, je ne peux pas sélectionner XnView comme application par défaut pour les jpg, png...
J'ai lu la doc RPM de Fedora (copieuse et en anglais) mais elle n'est pas d'un grand secours.
Quelqu'un sait-il comment rendre une application sélectionnable dans Fedora ???
