** Description changed:

  Here is another "right-click" action for files and folders that I frequently 
use, that's missing in the dash:
  "open with" for specifying the application to use.
  
  Use case:
  - I want to edit that pictures of my last holiday trip.
- - I conveniently find them in the dahs "files and folders" pane.
+ - I conveniently find them in the dashs "files and folders" pane.
  - I happily right-click on the icon, planning to select The GIMP for editing
  - Surprise: no menu, instead, the picture displays in the picture viewer
  - I need to start over
  - After getting the same result three times, I think "f..." the dash, use 
Nautilus, and have my picture for editing in a few seconds.
  
  There are other bug reports / wishes around the dash supporting right-
  click-actions: bug #662658, bug #667545.
