--- Comment #1 from alexxcons <alexxcons at xfce.org> ---
Sometimes applications supporting a specifc mimetype dont put a .desktop file
into /usr/share/applications/  
If there is no desktop file for an application, there is no generic way (that I
know of) to figure out which application supports which mime types. So I think,
it is correct to just list all possible applications.

We for sure will not start nitpicking specific applications here, like
excluding screensaver (possibly it will accept a *.jpg ?) or others.

IMO it is not bad to have all applications in the list  for 2 reasons:
1. Usually "open with" is used rarely. If you found the right application, you
usually mark it as default application for the mime type.
2. There is a type ahead search
