Public bug reported: Binary package hint: desktop-file-utils
After uninstalling an acroread package, several programs (i.e. firefox or thunderbird) open pdf files with gimp rather than evince although I set up evince to be the default opener in nautilus which consequently handles files fine. Apparently the other programs start the opener which comes first in the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache list, which is gimp.desktop. If I change the entry to have evince.desktop at first, firefox handles the file just fine. Each time, the update-desktop-database file is run though, the entries get swapped again and gimp starts to open pdf files. Consequently either firefox (or whatever mechanism they use to launch the program) ignores the defaults.list or the update-desktop-database does. This has been previously discussed at Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496237 ** Affects: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- update-desktop-database ignores defaults.list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to desktop-file-utils in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
