To make a general statement, FileManager "open" functionality tries to
export the content via content-hub, which will cause a copy of the
content to be sent to the destination app and a copy to be made. A
"view" operation should be supported as well that simply calls url-
dispatcher with the correct url so the content can be viewed by the app
but not copied. This should be done for pictures and videos that live
under ~/Pictures, ~/Videos, or SD card to prevent copies.

** Summary changed:

- Media player not registered with file manager as a handler for .MP4 files....  
+ FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting

Bug description:
  I would expect to be able to open a .MP4 video from the file manager,
  and have it play in Media Player... but the it seems that Media Player
  is not an option for playback, only Gallery, which is not terribly
  suitable.
