In Ubuntu, when we right-click a icon and use "open with", there is an option to remember that application for that file's type.

For some reason, my system is no more memorizing the application (I think it was aftare some update).

And, even when I have already used the "open with" command, the application is not showing in the "open with" list, so I have, everytime, to go to "open with"->"Other Application".

Any hint to solve this?
