Hi, I tested it out with a clean profile: nearly the same happens.
1: Open a PDF document, click on an external link http://something.org 2: firefox opens the website => All ok Since I'm a webdeveloper, and opens .html documents often to edit them I changed the default program to open .html document from firefox to gedit 3: Open nautilus, search or create a .html file 4: Right-click on it to open the properties menu 5: go to the Open With tab 6: Select Text editor (gedit) 7: Close the menu, and click once again on the link in the PDF document 8: Gedit downloads the document, opens it and shows the HTML code 9: Repeat step 5-7, but choose firefox again 10: Firefox opens as expected Maybe this is normal behaviour for evince because it uses gvfs or whatever to open the documents, but it is not what I want that it does. Maybe it is not an evince bug, but a gnome/gvfs/nautilus/whatever bug. If you say it is my system (but it is not the user configuration, since I used a clean new profile), I want to know what can cause it. It would be already very useful to know what method evince uses to open links (gnome-open, ...). -- Evince opens web links in gedit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
