Fedora – Default applications (GNOME 3)

fedoragnome3

I'm trying to associate a custom application to a file type in GNOME 3 (FC15).
In GNOME 2 one could go in the "Open with" pane of the file properties dialog and add a custom command there. The custom command edit box seems to have disappeared from the "Open with" pane in GNOME 3, so I was wondering if there is some workaround to manually assign the application.

In other words, from which file/directory does GNOME pull out that application list? How do I add a custom one?

I have Gnome3 and there is "Open with" pane :) You also go to proporties and there is "Open with" tab.

Edit: You should look on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118966. Your applications should show on list, if you add a *.desktop file associated with your application to /usr/share/applications or ~.local/share/applications/ directory. Exec should like this: Exec=yourprogram %U
