"Open With Other Application" cannot see desktop files in non-standard places (but still in XDG_DATA_DIRS)

Description
I have several applications installed outside of normal package managing, in particular in my $(HOME)/.local/. I have correctly added the $(prefix)/share/ folders to $XDG_DATA_DIRS. For instance the overview see them perfectly (the overview also uses the desktop files).
Unfortunately when right clicking > "Open with Other Application", my applications are not proposed in "Recommended Applications", even though the MimeType key is correctly filled. And even clicking "View all Applications", I still cannot find these applications.
Note that these are well known applications (like GIMP, mpv, etc.), so I know the desktop files to be well formed.
Nautilus 3.18.2 installed from Fedora 23 official repository (package 3.18.2-2.fc23).
Version: 2.47.x
