Hello. I had a problem to add a custom command linking to calibre to
open the .epub format of the ebooks. I found many sophisticated
workarounds in the web but the simplest way to solve is to install
thunar. Thunar mantained the old good interface allowing to choose the
wanted command.
Why was this feature removed? It was really bad to dumb down nautilus in
that way. I hope developers reintroduce the possibility to choose a
custom command/application.
The ubuntu forums are plenty of people asking to do that simple action
that was possible with all older distributions.
In my opinion the importance should be elevated to medium.

Title:
nautilus is missing 'browse to' option for 'open with other
application'
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I select a file in nautilus and use the right-click menu to
choose either 'open with other application' or 'properties / open
with', nautilus presents a list of suggested applications. In previous
versions of Ubuntu at this point it was also possible to select an
application by browsing to it, eg in this way I could select
/usr/bin/avidemux, which currently does not appear in the list of
suggested applications even though I have it installed.
However, in Ubuntu 12.04 there is no browse option, so it is not
possible to choose an application that does not appear in the list.
This looks like a regression.
