I have not altered (knowingly!) my 'org-file-apps' for years. Its value is: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Value: (("\\.pdf\\'" . "xpdf %s") (auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.x?html?\\'" lambda (file link) (eww-open-file file)) ("\\.pdf\\'" . system) ("\\.dvi\\'" . system) ("\\.ps\\'" . system)) Original value was ((auto-mode . emacs) (directory . emacs) ("\\.mm\\'" . default) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default) ("\\.pdf\\'" . default)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The odd thing is that my problem has just arisen. I don't remember having it before say a few weeks ago. Best wishes, Colin.
