How do I start KeePass2 (portable) from Nautilus in Ubuntu 13.04?

I have KeePass2 installed on a USB flash drive. In Ubuntu 12.04 all I had to do to start is was right click KeePass.exe and select Open With Mono Runtime. In 13.04 I only have the options of opening with Archive Manager or Wine. I have mono installed and can start KeePass from the command line with either:

KeePass.exe 

or

mono KeePass.exe 

I can't start KeePass from a script on the flash drive because it is not possible to make it executable.

This is functionality that was removed from versions of Ubuntu @ 11.10 and beyond. The 'Add' for adding a custom opener no longer exists. If you would like to do this open a terminal and change to your KeePass directory.

Then type:

mimeopen -d KeePass.exe

You will see that there will be options asking what you want the default open to be, you will select the number that has the option 'Other' and when prompted:

mono %f

This should allow it into the Open With list. I hope this helps!
