I've downloaded Aptana Studio 3 from their site and installed it successfully. Now it is showing in the Dash search. Problem is that, when I right click on any file (i.e HTML, CSS, PHP etc.), the Apatana Studio is not in the "Open With" list. Even it is not available in the "Other Applications" list.

How can I get Aptana Studio 3 in the "Open With" list?

you can do it by editing the file located at .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and this file looks like this according to my settings

[Default Applications]
text/x-python=geany.desktop
text/html=geany.desktop

[Added Associations]
text/x-python=geany.desktop;
text/html=geany.desktop;

and you can change the opening of the html files using aptana editing the mimeapps.list as

text/html=aptana.desktop

if there's aptana.desktop in /usr/share/applications for creating .desktop file go to

  • /usr/share/applications
  • open any applications with gedit

they should look like this

[Desktop Entry]
Name=System Settings
Icon=preferences-system
Exec=unity-control-center --overview
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
Keywords=Preferences;Settings;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=unity-control-center

then change these settings for aptana studio for eg:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=<location of icon>
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Exec=<location of aptana studio executive file>

and you don't have to save it in /usr/share/applications, you can save it in .local/share/applications/
