Fabrizio, Thanks for testing this on Linux. There is no need to send me a patch. I verified that this did not break the windows system default pdf viewer so I already have the change made. I'm hoping it doesn't break anything on osx. I will give you credit for the commit.
In a related note, I found that the symbol context menu entry "Open Documentation" in Eeschema opens the documentation file defined by the symbol library (LIB_PART) rather than the documentation file defined by the schematic symbol (SCH_COMPONENT). This needs to be fixed as well. Cheers, Wayne On 6/7/2017 10:45 AM, Fabrizio Tappero wrote: > works great!
