Bug#350123: galeon: Link context menu does not offer 'Open with...' like the image context menu.

By way of example: it would be stupid for 'Vi' to register itself as being able to cope with HTML, but HTML is a text-based format and it's fairly natural for someone to want to open a HTML link in Vi, to examine it. If opening a link in an arbitrary application could optionally register it as able to handle that mime-type or file extension, that might be particularly useful.

Ok, I'm making this a bug against Galeon. Someone already requested this feature in Debian bug #222656 which is upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130988 Cheers, -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Earth status: NOT DESTROYED

Hi, On Mon, Jan 30, 2006, Tim Baverstock wrote: The particular example might be a GIMP bug, but the overall issue is that I would like Galeon to have a pop-up menu entry that asks me which application I want to send an arbitrary link to - not necessarily an SVG to GIMP: it could be that I want to send a .txt link to vi, or that I sometimes want to send a .wek link to xfwek and sometimes send it to xwek. Perhaps even - horrors - a .html link to my shell script that fires up Internet Explorer in Wine. The current system works in the following way: - applications declare support for opening or editing files of specific MIME types, and how they should be called to do so - Galeon queries the MIME type of an object and matches it against applications supporting 1/ opening this MIME type 2/ editing this MIME type and then launches the application you select in the way the application said it should be called The GIMP bug I mentionned is that the application descriptor does not list this MIME type at all. It seems you would want Galeon to offer some sort of override of this system, permitting you to select any application, changing the way it is called, to open any type of file you click on.

reassign #350123 gimp-svg retitle #350123 Should register the image/svg+xml MimeType thanks Hi, On Fri, Jan 27, 2006, Tim Baverstock wrote: If I want to open an '.svg' file, I have to save it first. This is a little annoying when I could easily send it to GIMP. I know I should be able to set up the association if I dig through the manual, but it would be much easier if that were on the context menu. This seems to be a problem with Gimp which does not list the SVG Mime Type in its descriptor, even when gimp-svg is installed. To the gimp maintainer: perhaps you should dpkg-divert /usr/share/gimp/2.0/misc/gimp.desktop when gimp-svg is installed with a version listing image/svg+xml in the MimeType field?

Package: galeon Version: 1.3.20-1 Severity: wishlist If I want to open an '.svg' file, I have to save it first. This is a little annoying when I could easily send it to GIMP. I know I should be able to set up the association if I dig through the manual, but it would be much easier if that were on the context menu.
