Public bug reported: When the application is installed there is no file association for .blend files. ie, when i double click on a .blend file, it runs apturl (i think) and tries to locate a program. This also fails to locate blender in the software centre.
Corrected by adding application/x-blender=blender.desktop to /usr/share/applications/defaults.list however the application still does not appear in the list of available applications in right click nautilus menu unless it is already the default application.
