> But why is PDF assigned to AbiWord? This is strange. I poked about in /usr/share/applications and the abiword.desktop doesn't list pdf. Looking at Open With again also shows gvim and gedit in the list of programs PDFs can be opened with too.
There is something that all three share in common: in /usr/share/application-registry They all have mime_types=text/* . Are PDFs counted as being a subtype of text? -- abiword eats memory (possible OOM) and hangs when opening PDFs https://launchpad.net/bugs/44523 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
