 Hello!

 Putting no argument in the Exec line and expecting a file to be opened
is not correct. Most file managers will still add the file to the
command but this behaviour is not to be expected (from 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html
"If the application should not open any file the %f, %u, %F and %U field
codes must be removed from the command line and ignored.").
 It seems that the file manager you are using is not correctly escaping
the file name before adding it to the command line, therefore IMHO
there should be a bug in your file manager.

 Cheers!
