Description of problem: fedora specific spyder.desktop file doesn't has a mime-type conncetion for x-python files. So in GNOME it's not possible to open python files with spyder via a double click as spyder doesn't show up in the list of available applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 24 (as far as I know, others version probably as well) How reproducible: install python3-spyder via normal package management, open file manager, try to open python file Steps to Reproduce: 1. install spyder 2. open nautilus 3. create python file with .py ending 4. double click on python file Actual results: dialog with available programs for python files opens but spyder is not listed Expected results: dialog with available programs for python files opens and spyder shows up Additional info: As fedora specific spyder.desktop file [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=spyder3 Name=Spyder (Python 3) GenericName=Scientific Python Development Environment Comment=A simple and lightweighted python IDE with MATLAB-like features Icon=spyder Terminal=false Categories=Development;IDE; X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22 doesn't contain a mime-type line. The spyder.desktop file from sources [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Spyder3 GenericName=Spyder3 Comment=Scientific PYthon Development EnviRonment - Python3 TryExec=spyder3 Exec=spyder3 %F Categories=Development;Science;IDE;Qt; Icon=spyder3 Terminal=false StartupNotify=true MimeType=text/x-python; contains the necessary mime-type line.

Thanks for the report. I will push this along with update to Spyder 3 (hopefully soon).
