Re: [gentoo-user] xdg-open opens pdf with gimp
thanks for the hint. I found the following strange configuration: as a normal user: > xdg-mime query default application/pdf zathura-pdf-poppler.desktop; > xdg-mime default zathura-pdf-poppler.desktop application/pdf xdg-open still uses gimp. As root: root > xdg-mime query default application/pdf zzz-gimp.desktop I deleted zzz-gimp.desktop from /usr/share/applications/, then xdg-open uses zathura.

Try running: xdg-mime query default application/pdf to see what the default application is for that mime type. Then you can run xdg-mime default insert-your-application-here application/pdf to change the application that opens that mime type. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

[gentoo-user] xdg-open opens pdf with gimp
Hi, xdg-open opens a pdf file with Gimp. I have the following configuration: > xdg-mime query filetype tmp/arulesViz.pdf application/pdf but, > xdg-open tmp/arulesViz.pdf Opening "tmp/arulesViz.pdf" with GNU Image Manipulation Program (application/pdf) I also tried > xdg-mime default zathura-pdf-poppler.desktop application/pdf but xdg-open still chooses gimp. Any ideas what goes wrong? Thanks, Sven
