           Summary: xdg-open is broken when a .desktop file Exec has
                    arguments
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jim.duchek at gmail.com


If a given .desktop file has an Exec line like, say:

Exec=test-app -i %f

Which is perfectly legal in the .desktop spec, 'xdg-open <file>' will actually
execute 'test-app <file>'.  

Attached is a patch that works.  It should probably be looked at by something
with a bit more shell scripting/sed finesse.  It will also break if a filename
has an asterisk in it -- it seemed the safest character to use as a sed
delimiter.
