Ha that is a good one!

I like the idea of centralizing the command. That will make things
easier when we switch everything back to Perl :) /s
In more seriousness, I like the idea. I don't see any disadvantage to
your proposal.

Why do we add converters in frontends GuiPrefs.cpp?
Hi all,
while searching in order to solve the python issues, I searched for all the
occurrences of "$$o" in src/
$ grep -r '$$o' src/*
The only case where I was surprised were the case of frontends GuiPrefs.cpp:
$ grep '$$o' src/frontends/qt/GuiPrefs.cpp
dviCB->addItem("xdvi -sourceposition '$$n:\\ $$t' $$o");
dviCB->addItem("yap -1 -s \"$$n $$t\" $$o");
dviCB->addItem("okular --unique \"$$o#src:$$n $$f\"");
dviCB->addItem("synctex view -i $$n:0:$$t -o $$o -x \"evince -i %
{page+1} $$o\"");
pdfCB->addItem("CMCDDE SUMATRA control [ForwardSearch(\\\"$$o\\\",\\
\"$$t\\\",$$n,0,0,1)]");
pdfCB->addItem("SumatraPDF -reuse-instance \"$$o\" -forward-search \"$
$t\" $$n");
pdfCB->addItem("synctex view -i $$n:0:$$t -o $$o -x \"xpdf -raise -
remote $$t.tmp $$o %{page+1}\"");
pdfCB->addItem("okular --unique \"$$o#src:$$n $$f\"");
pdfCB->addItem("qpdfview --unique \"$$o#src:$$f:$$n:0\"");
pdfCB->addItem("synctex view -i $$n:0:$$t -o $$o -x \"evince -i %
{page+1} $$o\"");
pdfCB->addItem("/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/
displayline $$n $$o $$t");
Does any one knows why we are injecting these calls manually there?
