Version: 0.8-12
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hello,
when I receive unknown data type and Firefox asks me what to do with it
(Choose Application / Save), I choose /usr/bin/gview as the viewer
program. However, Firefox displays "vim" instead of gview. This
apparently happens because gview is a symlink to vim. Though, it should
be called as "gview" in order to get the GUI and not as vim, so when
Firefox resolves the link, it runs not the thing I wanted. Invoking vim
without a terminal does not make sence, anyhow.
Regards,
Eduard.
