Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2015-07-20 14:26:35 UTC

Double clicking a .ovpn file should import it to network manager and open the connection config file as if I manually imported it

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a .ovpn file
2. Double click it
3.

Actual Results:  
A text editor opens

Expected Results:  
A new VPN connection is created and the dialog prompting its details opens
