add sublime text option to the contextual menu

After installing sublime text, we must be able to open text files with it. Right click on a text file and you must see the option "open with sublime text". In case you don't , click Open with other applications and you should see Sublime text option there. No luck yet, here are the troubleshooting steps.

# open the .desktop file for sublime
sudo sublime /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop

# add the below lines to the file

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Sublime Text 2
# Only KDE 4 seems to use GenericName, so we reuse the KDE strings.
# From Ubuntu's language-pack-kde-XX-base packages, version 9.04-20090413.
GenericName=Text Editor

Exec=sublime %f
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/48x48/sublime_text.png
Type=Application
Categories=TextEditor;IDE;Development
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow

[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=sublime -n
TargetEnvironment=Unity

This adds Open with Sublime text in right click context menu.
